    FFS this really dissapoints me. You can see where the powers that be are coming from when they push for arms reforms when there's people out there that are improper people to be owning firearms, paint it anyway you like but the person that has shot another person was not a fit and proper person, they obviously had zero impulse control which is a dangerous type to be using a firearm, obviously also had no regard for the law as they have broken one if not more of the seven rules. Let them rot and leave us responsible firearms owners alone.
    I'm sure more information will come out over time but I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and guess that the hunter that has shot someone was also one of these guys that goes hunting once a year, in the roar, they often are and I think that is one thing that has to change, I'm not sure how but going out one time in the year with your neck swollen up more than a roaring red stag full of adrenaline and a rifle in your hands is not a good combination and that needs to be realised by hunters themselves, a fit and proper person is going to tell themselves I'm not ready for this, I need to get out and see some animals, breathe some fresh air and have my head right before going I to an area during the roar where there is a definately possibility of other hunters also.

    That's the problem summed up well.
    Unfortunately most people on this forum fit this definition.
    Having spent a lot of time in the area just this week the phone has been going nuts this morning.
    Even talked to the pilot and when/if the truth does come out you'll feel sick.
    Thoughts go out to his family.

    Anything that you can elaborate on to ease half the speculation?

    Unfortunately it is often experienced hunters shooting friends in the same hunting party, not the weekend worrier that gets out once a year.

    Until more info comes out this could be either. Hell, until all the info is out this could have been a stag got shot, bullet passed through took a deflection and hit his mate standing next to him.

    There is nothing "obvious" until you know all the facts. Couple of years ago someone was shot by a very senior NZDA member, MSC instructor etc. Right up until the moment he pulled the trigger, he was probably considered completely "fit and propper"...
