    I ran into the last guy to get hit by a .270 in hospital by chance. I reckon he was covering for his mate who negligently discharged, his story was a bit fishy.

    Also 30.06 family of calibers are overrepresented in hunting accidents at this stage.

    To me it beggars belief. Whats the shooter thinking ? If you were out spotlighting and had just shot a deer would you-

    a) fire in the direction of your mate who is out there in the dark retreiving a deer ?

    b) be stupid enough to think a deer would still be hanging around after a shot in the same place with all the noise/lights etc esp
    with the spot light still being held on the general area.

    c) completely fail to identify your target. No headlamp dim or not looks like an animals eyes.Unless your pissed.

    d) fail to communicate whats going on with the rest of the party?

    Two things- get a lotto ticket and get some new mates . Your currently hanging with dickheads.

    I think I will stay home for a few more weeks. shes a dangerous place the bush
    Stay off the ridgeline.
    The only good assumption is to assume that movement, shape, colour, sound, is always human. Follow this rule and identify your target.

    RULE 4: IDENTIFY YOUR TARGET BEYOND ALL DOUBT


    To be a Human is to be an Alien, ask the animals, We invade this world and we are killing it, we are destroying the earth and nobody gives a fuck except for the animals

    He was on the radio earlier on. The journalist who is usually very aggressive did not even ask him if he was on public or private land!
