1. Who do you make a complaint to.
2. Is there a chance they will find out you made the complaint (are they friends or have a connection to who you are complaining to). We all know how safe our data and information is these days. Hell, I was involved in a car accident last year where the guy did a runner, 3 days later he rang me on my mobile and asked if I knew how much it was going to cost for the damage to my car. How he got my mobile, I have no idea, it wasnt from the cops, the cops didnt want to know who he was even though I had his name, photo, and details from his facebook page, they didnt care he hit my car, hit another car (mercedes) when fleeing the accident and did a runner from the scene. Wouldnt even take his details down.
3. If they do find out, as they are irresponsible and not law abiding people, is there a chance they might retaliate against you or those around you.

We dont need cowboys with guns in our hobby/sport/profession, it gets people killed, and hurts our way of life.

Choice is yours, do nothing, confront them and tell them to pull their head in, or inform the authorities.

Hard choice. But you know, they say the only good cops are the ones who have dobbed in the bad cops, and maybe its time gun owners had the same approach.

Good luck.

Yes, its a hard choice but from how much of it is going on around here claerly the police dont give a toss. So many areas are being hunted at night its a joke.
Where i went on weekend i was informed by someone that there mate was hunting there with a thermal week before, and saw a number of deer at 1am in the morning there.
I heard of other people that hunt the main highway at night and average 3 to 4 deer a night which they selling.
Then theres the forestry guys hunting the forsts without permits during the week and using thermals etc.
Risking their jobs for a deer but this sort of thing has increased big time over the last year or two after the cool of period after the camper was shot in a DOC campsite and they cracked down on spotlighters.
scared the crap out of a lot of them now its back to the old ways.... illegal hunting back in force big time
Out
