Never NEVER take booze.
Me 'n Bosshogg been hunting together for nigh on 37 years, we never take booze. You never know, that sound outside in the middle of the night may just possibly be a giant possum and then its every man fer hisself. Mad scramble for the guns to kill the bastard. You wouldnt want a half pissed guy out with you then, would you?
I spose you drink and drive too?

Well, Skid, One tiny wee one, nearly big enough to make a snack for one person and Wopass made me put it back.
The trout fishing is fun, but I can successfully lay claim to being the worlds worst and most unsuccessful fisherman!
