    Live and learn, life goes on - still sucks though. A mate missed a shot at a massive 180+ Sika stag last weekend down Puketitiri way. He's hurting.

    yep had one myself got rangered [cheers boomstick reasonably painless] while waiteing on a covey or two of quail last nite.
    got bored went for a walk to scare up a pheasant came back to said quail spot to find myself 10 metres out of position and looking the wrong way.only the dogs excited whines alerted me to the covey flush as they bolted for thier roost area.
    was even less prepared for the 20 bird follow up covey

    You can get it direct from Buy Ammunition NZ | Ammo Supplies NZ | Hunting & Shooting supplies

    But I'll have a scratch around in my mates garage, there should be atleast half a box floating around.
