The firearm thread

[ManDownUnder]

No problem. I'll give you a call when I next have a couple of mates around for a plinking/ sighting in session.

If you and the lad can make it great. You may have to put up with a bunch of "cowboys" shouting yehaa, and calling each other silly names.

Dates to avoid (for me anyway).

October 24 - November 3 inc
November 9 - November 26 inc.

I'll have me new scope on the HMR at that point too.

Need to find us a block with too many furries critters on it again too. Possums, bunnies or goats. It's all good by me. If someone can help me with the prep on a Goat I'll make the curry afterwards...

[Mr Merde]

Looks like I have some organising to do.

MDU--- dates noted.
Wolf -- I'll give you plenty of warning
deanohit-- of course you will have an invite.

I'll check with the farmer, make sure the stock has been moved, set up a date and let you all know when.

Thought you all would enjoy this picture.

Darwin was right

[Mr Merde]

sorry messed up try this

[Wolf]

Well, I looked close and it looks like the fucking idiot's finger is on the trigger as well - would be a bastard if he flinched at the sound of his mate's shot...

[deanohit]

Cheers Mr Merde, where are you anyway? You can pm me if you want to keep it quiet.

Love the pic, the ATF don't seem to have many bright cookies there, like the guy who shot himself in the foot while giving a lecture on gun safety.
"I'm the only one in this room qualified to hold a gun" BANG!!!

I'm keen...haven't gutted anything in a few years, so would be a bit rusty, but I'm sure the goat won't mind!

Bwahhahaha...the missing viallge idiot, except he was obviously stressed from taking care of two villlages and decided to end it!

Dont need to gut the thing. Just take the legs, leave the rest to nature.

Also make sure it is a young one.

What do you mean "leave the rest to Nature" ???

[deanohit]

A young nanny, they're always best, some of those billies you can literally smell from a mile away down wind.
Love goat shanks cooked in the camp oven! Can't beat that hint of smoke flavour.

open the belly cavity and leave the carcass to decompose. Few weeks and there wont be much left. After taking the legs there is not a lot else left on the carcass worth eating.

Especially if theres pigs in the area. Basically natures garbage disposal.

No disrespect meant, but that seems wrong somehow. Where I come from, if we kill, we use everything.

I'll just shut up now, it's not my place to criticise.

No, feel free to say what you want. With goats, we often only take the back steaks and legs, same with deer, but if we get a pig, we carry the whole fat bastard back as there is so much more meat on a pig. When I was rabbit and possum shooting, I always carried them all out, best dog tucker you can get. And like I said in my above post, anything you leave gets cleaned up by other wild pigs.
