    I wouldn't Dundee. Not unless you like eating through a straw.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    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

    Cracker of a bird....well done mate!
    While I might not be as good as I once was, Im as good once as I ever was!

    First pond we saw two mallards depart as we approached down the track,next one had two that sat tight as we drove past.

    The dog unleashed and stalk on. On the approach to the wall of the pond no ducks were seen as they had headed for cover against the bank. Dog climbs the wall and two ducks dispatched both drake and hen.

    Another farm was visited with hundreds of parries on river flats and no shots fired as we couldn't stalk them and weren't in pocession of siloughettes.

    Back home to a full moon and frosty night.
