    Particularly sad in its timing. RIP, you passed doing what you loved.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Sounds like a heart attack perhaps. Close to the camp and not from a fall. Poor bugger

    "Name release – Tora hunter"

    Police are now able to release the name of the man who died while on a hunting trip in Tora bush over the weekend.

    He is 60-year-old Trevor Patrick Burke of Carterton.

    Police’s thoughts are with Mr Burke’s family and friends.
