That is the false sense of safety/nobody else is here that contributes IMHO to these shootings/nobody else would walk in here it must be a deer....Id feel safer hunting 100m off of a state highway down here cos most just drive past, walk 3 hours and meet everybody else that thought they had to walk 3 hours.
As much as I love bush hunting roaring stags I think my days of it in the top of the south are over, just too many hunters and too many of them are complete and utter fuck wits! only got to look at all the doc signs shot up to see what sort of a shooting culture we are developing....it didn't use to be like this here....maybe up north but not here.
