As much as it is a piss-off when someone decides to either sight their rifle in or just have a good ol'bomb up it is to be expected when one is hunting the road side or road end, and everyone has a sense of entitlement that allows it. Two weeks ago my nephew and his mate had a bomb up at my place, I imagine anyone hunting in the area would have been pissed at the 350 rounds they let off.
Helicopters over the Forest Park are a common thing and as the deer are not targeted they may move, but not far, and hey! they may even chase the animals in your direction.
If the unproductive time spent walking to the Oamaru Hut was spent walking at right angles to Clements Road, you would be in an entirely different ball game and a long way from the day trippers that frequent Clements.
