    Okay okay you're actually making sense now, I guess I did kind of treat it like a newspaper ad. I think since I've been lurking for months I already felt like I was part of the gang or something haha.

    Okay hi, I'm Lucy. I grew up on a farm in Tasmania and I've been shooting since I was 13 and hunting since I was 14. I moved to NZ two years ago and work in electronics repair, and I'll soonish be starting training to be a prison gua- sorry, I mean a "corrections officer". My ultimate goal is to buy a big piece of land and have a cattle farm like my dad did. On our farm in Tasmania we had a serious wallaby problem and a culling license but because we couldn't use semi automatics the only thing that worked for culling was loading six guys up on the back of a ute and rolling through the paddocks like an Al Queda death squad in a technical trying to pop wallabies from all sides with bolt actions. It was stupid dangerous and stupid fun.

    I think gas piston is superior to direct impingement.
    I think .300 blackout is a novelty and 7.62x39 is superior in every way because you don't need uber fancy subsonic handloads in a country with unregulated suppressors. Fight me.
    I think Simonov would be stoked on my bubba SKS even though it can't hit largest side of barn
    A shotgun with slugs is my favourite thing to shoot
    A Barrett .50 Cal is my dream gun
    I think wallaby mince and venison mince mixed 50/50 and cooked in to spaghetti bolognese is the most delicious thing in the world.

    And I may or may not be a bar of soap, I cannot confirm or deny.

    The two guys who've messaged me weren't realistic options so I'll give up on the newspaper ad and try some good old fashioned networking I guess.

    Good to see you have a thick skin and a sense of humour. Down the middle of the south island there are quite a few wallabies bowled over in the manner you mention. I like to wrap the hind legs in smoky bacon and roast them. The networking bit works, it helps if we get to know you. Welcome aboard.

    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

    You have my deepest sympathy wanting to be a Corrections officer.
    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
