500m on the great walks tracks, crappy standard tracks it is free range and that's why he died as well as failure to clearly identify target

No, it's not free range on standard tracks.
No hunting in the vicinity of tracks is the actual wording on the permit if I recall correctly, and 500m from great walks.
I have no idea what the legal definition of "vicinity" is!

its vague so you have no "legal out" should you make the ultimate error .......lets face it the effective range of centrefire rifles is alot more than 2 or 3 hundred yards....(bullet travel distance not neccessarily an aimed shot at a mis-identified target)
