    New upland game bird - Good eating

    I was up the back of the farm last night and instead of the normal peacocks, pheasants etc I came across this big bugger
    Name: 11276_10151452177035777_1158617031_n.jpg Views: 279 Size: 35.8 KB
    so I whipped back down to the house, got my shotgun and sprinted back up to the top. It was still there

    so I gave it both barrels of number five. Never even scratched the mongrel.

    What the hell is it?
    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 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

    I think that's one of those mowers Rushy. If you annoy it with the shotgun again it's going to mow you down. Try a rope and saddle next time.
