    Is there any merit balloting public blocks at all times to minimise the chance of this happening in the future? How else can this be prevented? I'm going bush in 3 days and this has scared the shit out of me!!

    Happens in balloted blocks all the time. Often the same hunting party unfortunately.

    Stay safe out there all.

    Unfortunately balloting hasn't stopped this in the past. We do not know the details on this one yet, but most others in the past have been the result of a hunting party member pulling the trigger. So unless the block was balloted to one rifle per block, it's likely to to continue in a similar was if there is no other intervention or process added.

    The human mind is a tricky beast and the brain will make you see what it wants you to see. Trusting ourselves ability to make the right decision is difficult. This take a lot of mental conditioning and training over long periods of time. Some of the most experienced hunters still believe today that they correctly identified their target as a deer, before shooting their mate/family member.

    This is always tragic, as is a cyclist getting hit by a car/hit, a toddler being backed over in the driveway or any other incident when a 3rd party is harmed by another persons actions(rightly or wrongly).
