    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

    Bumped into one (Morepork) in broad daylight earlier in April this year down in Fiordland. On the Lake Marion track.

    A random snap the wife took with a new camera a couple of years back, just a well composed fluke that captures the moment.Name: tui 002.JPG Views: 300 Size: 3.49 MB

    I came across this photo today when I was looking through an old album. I believe it is the only photo of Moa bones found in the Tongariro region.

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
