    We went forth...no pheasants, saw a pair of Paradise Ducks and that was about it, really...so neat being out with the little one...she is a great worker and is very methodical and takes the initiative to seek out what she thinks could be birdy...

    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

    Are you going to the smoke Dundee? Look out city slickers, here comes a real Kiwi bloke. You do know you can't take the .22 to pop pigeons on the Beehive lawn.
