Thread: Hunter shot in Kaimai Range near Te Aroha

I wear orange blaze in the roar and hunting with mates or in high hunting pressure spots where I may run into other hunters. I would rather been seen than not. I feel a lot better I can see my mates and the dog easier.

It’s guys with the wrong mindset during the roar, they have already talked themselves into it, colour doesn’t matter, they in the thinking of

“ its the roar, I must get a stag, I can hear a stag, it must be a stag, I’m going to shoot a stag, I can here a stag coming, then there’s some movement?, next identified the movement but not the stag, now it’s point of no return the trigger is pulled!!!” Ohh shit!

Instead of of thinking the other way around “it’s a person, its a person I can hear, it’s a person coming until you can identifying a stag”
