I. Men preparing to liberate the first chamois in New Zealand. They are about to put them over the Hooker River. Photograph taken by Michael Collett in 1907.

What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

If i was to guess i would say it was a red deer release, from what i have heard they used to crate them for transport and then sometimes get housed in stables for a time which seen the death of a few through their natural instinct to jump. They would knock themselves out on rafters if they didn't kill themselves.
