    Interesting - I've never made it as far as the mine before.
    There is a good area for deer in the next catchment, if you're that way inclined

    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

    There was another hunter heading in he showed us on the map where he was heading so we gave that area a miss.
    We dropped Possum Trapper off as he and a few mates a staying in the area for a few days.

    Apparently the magazine was used in WW2 to store ammunition.

    Long way to run when your ACK ACK gun was empty and the Japs were steaming ashore.
