Title: Things you find when looking for inspiration
Post by: Rob Brownfield on 29/07/2013 at 09:12

Whilst looking for inspitation I found these:

You'll have to catch a Haggis of a suitable size first :z4

Can't wait!! Have been loading cartridges with a suitable Haggis grain weight and making sure I have perfected my Haggis call for the first nights hunting! Role on the 12th!
