I wouldn't mind giving it a go some time before I get nailed in the box

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Craig you re one of the lucky ones who got in eh... Well done ... we missed out this year and have never been there. Did any in your party get an animal? Were there many about to see or was it quiet and tricky ?

    make sure someone in your party gets a doe permit because u can only shoot animals with 3 or more spikes on there head, one per person no swapping permits etc . Great day out plenty of animals around. still hunting is what will get u the animal in my mind but everyone different . They do get pushed around a bit by the hunters . hope this helps
