For shooting deer my mate from Tennessee uses a bow and arrow. I kid(!) you not.
This is the same guy who whilst his wife was on Skype to us announces 'Ahm a just gonna go out and get me some Wild Turkey'.
Thinking he was popping down the offy, 15 minues later he comes back into the kitchen with a hunting rifle in one hand and massive dead turkey in the other.
Say what you like about the Septics, they don't do things by halves.
