Default 2 Bears.

Once upon a time, not so long ago on a cold winter night there was me typing away on the computer enjoying the NZAGF, when in the distance I heard the bark of a possum outside. Hunting through my bag I found my trusty Led lenser p14 and went outside to investigate. I heard some scratching on a tree not too far away in the barren poplar tree to my right and the rustle of leaves to my left, I quickly established that there were in fact 2 possums.

I went inside and gained access to my safe where I got my trusty Sportsman HV, loaded up the mag and headed outside to claim my next victims. I decided to go for the hardest one first and spent 5 minutes looking for it and ended up red lighting it. Through the branches I could see the red glow of eyes looking down at me. I fired and hit wood, again I fired and hit wood. Up the tree it went, all I could see now was one eye looking back at me. I took aim. Fired. Crash bang thump it came down.

Too the poplar I went, I found my target instantly. Aimed, fired, thump. I plucked the 2 bears, disposed of the bodies and lived happily ever after.

The End.

And when you look at it there is a minimum of about $3.50 worth of fur on a possum.

How do you live with yourself, you should be ashamed. If I was a judge I would sentence you to 8 hours community possum shooting.

On another note I feel your pain.
