Ahhhh ! the old M25. So glad that is a distant memory now. On the subject of changing scenery, I visited the uk for the first time in ten years at xmas to see Mum in Cornwall. Apart from the huge increase in road traffic, the thing that stuck me was the number of wind turbines everywhere. Fugly...

Hi Taff. Hope you are settling in up North mate. I think you will get a bit of a surprise when you sit your FAL test here. The MSC who usually run the courses seem to operate a "no fail" policy from what I have seen and heard. Too easy in my humble opinion.

I am heading to the UK for xmas for the first time in 9 years. Guess I best dig out some long pants :lol:

I had to read this post a couple of times before the penny dropped. My surname is also Muir, and I couldn't figure how you could know that :oops:

As far as seasons are concerned, NZ basically doesn't have a season for shooting game apart from birds. We can shoot what we like when we like, controlled only by one`s ethics.

Of the 4 deer farms in my area, two are Fallow and two Reds. The Reds are only farmed for Velvet, not meat
