You just suggested that.

Have you seen how easy it is to get a gun Licence?
Too bloody easy with not much training involved and before you jump in about its not the new hunters shooting people.
read my post again.
Its so called experienced hunters with bad hunting habits who have been making fatal mistakes.

Bad hunting habits which they gained right from the start by themselves or the hunters who mentored them.

So Joe Bloggs can reinvent himself as a hunter and within a short time have a gun licence.
Pop in to his local shop and buy his gun and get into it.
10 years later he has been taking snap shots at movement and has been lucky enough not to have shot someone.
Now to the next part.
During the Roar everyman and his mates are pouring into the bush to get his trophy or in some case,s whatever comes his way.
Add Joe Bloggs into the mix and he has a bigger chance with his habit of snap shooting or lining up on movement to actually be in a area with other hunters all roaring at each other.


Hunter training has to get serious.
Not all new hunters have access to safe hunters as mentors.
Humans are funny creatures and if nobody is policing them they behave badly.
You need training to drive a car and if not for policing all hell would break loose on the roads .
Come and drive in Africa for a first hand experience in that.

They ballot certain areas of South Island during the Roar.
Can anybody shed some light on case,s of shootings in these areas during the ballot period?

When I was talking about experienced hunters etc I was no longer talking directly to you, but to everyone who said it was the new hunters who were making the mistakes.

As I've said multiple times on this forum, experienced people need to take inexperienced people out and teach them the right way to hunt safely.

Or just people with safety ethics. Experience can be good and bad.

Yep an experienced fuckwit is a real danger at all times.Unfortunately the goofy gene is present in these idiots...
