    That's a bugger. Never met him but a pioneer in those parts.

    A fate that we shall all share at some point. RIP.
    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

    Rest in peace Ivan.
    I had many great nights in his hut up the PuhiPuhi with him and Murray.
    He was a wealth of knowledge on anything deer related and had many great yarns..
    He used to say he knew how to make a small fortune out of helicopters...it's easy you just start with a large fortune.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    Tim Wallis rated Ivan Wilson as innovative and a knowledgeable hunter operator. Wallis did not give out praise easily.
