Adventures Down Under

The birds soon drifted in, and despite a rather embarrassing testiment to my rusty shotgunning skills, we soon had over a dozen birds down, more than enough for me to pick a few good ones for mounting. Bird hunting in New Zealand is pretty nifty; fully automatic shotguns, no plugs, lead shot, and trusting birds due to the low hunting pressure. Upon our return to the lodge I discovered Jim`s other talent; he`s a gourmet chef, and the meals that week were unsurpassed.
