    No problem, I just happened to be quite aware of the facts, as far as the farmer is concerned he was known to have a fairly short fuse but that doesn't mean to say that he didn't have other facets to his character.
    Just going to take a look around the next bend...

    WARO helicopter was shot at in Kaikoura early 2000's. Culprit was never seen which was pretty lucky for him I'd say.

A bit like how I feel about the "team subway" lycra cyclists, negative contact with the scumbag end of it, colours my perception of the many who probably aren't. They have no right to bitch about or get all tough about ground hunters that get frustrated and do something dumb. The innocent/nonoffending pilot/door gunner/machine that gets anti attention from whatever capacity it comes in from a ground based hunter, is reaping the reward of the scumbag operators that have, for amusement or gain deliberately messed with ground hunters.
    Get a grip! You do not point a firearm at anything you are not willing to kill. Full stop.

    "No right to get tough if ground hunters do something dumb"
    It doesn't matter how frustrated their actions make you, that doesn't make it alright. Unless you're happy to live with knowing that you took someone's life, killed someone's son, brother, partner. If you can live with that then you deserve to rot away in a prison cell for the next 20 odd years. Think about what you're saying man.

    I've had hunts buggered by machines, 5-6 hours hike into a remote spot only to have a machine roll through and pick off a few easy animals. It's not ideal but you either drop your lip and sulk like a spoilt brat or get on with it and realise that sadly dealing with WARO is part of the challenge of taking a public land trophy and that's just how it is right now. Embrace the challenge or find another hobby.
