This part makes me wonder if there is a bit more to it.
Did anymore come out about the bloke who was shot awhile ago in Te Urewera near Ruatahuna
Whatever happened may he rest in peace, my thoughts with all who are affected :(

Bloody tragedy for all concerned, thoughts go out to the families
So tragic when this sort of thing happens. Rule number four fellahs. Be careful out there.
Hunting at night, on private land. With torches or thermals.
Identify your target beyond all doubt. Sounds like he could have been shot by the possumers with spotlights. A stray shot? A person doesn't look like a possum.
Check your firing zone
Identity target beyond all doubt.
Not much you can do about getting shot by some other idiot.Quote:

True... but, one party may have been legitimately out on private land, and who hasn't returned from a daytime deer hunt in the dark on the trip back. From the info we have so far it's doubtful the other was acting lawfully let alone responsibly.Quote:
