Thread: hunting incompetence

Last week I was on the bike going home for lunch when a red spiker jumped out of a bunch of scrub onto the track barely 10 meters infront of me he trotted along slowly for about 100 meters then seemed to realise something was behind him stopped turned broadside and stood there till I was a couple of meters away then went shit and buggered off at full speed. I know spikers are dim but he didnt even look left then right before pulling out onto the track we could have had a terrible accident!. If Id had the rifle instead of a spade the result may have been different.

Couple of years back I met two guys at Totara Flats Hut who were real idiots - wearing crocs was the first warning sign and having a shitty sks with open sights between them was another - I told them that they could have the grass open areas the next day but not to shoot towards the bush
I got out of there fairly soon but not before I heard one say to the other "I TOLD you to hunt with the wind in front of you"

There were campers, trampers and people all over the show and these two prize specimens were what they would think of when they thought of hunters - oh dear



Also have done the usual stupid things myself that everyone else has, left bolt at home etc
