    I'm surprised there are no comments about the piece? I thought it was nice to see a good news hunting story

    I think it was a horrible advert for our way of life. Not the idea, just the footage.

    Anti hunting types will be insenced by watching the footage and not even hear or listen to the intended message.
    Even that skank Barry got a shot in before the story was aired. Saying it was WORSE that the whole community was behind the event.

    And her offsider right at the end started to try and make an issue over shooting magpies but they had obviously run out of time and the item closed.

    C’mon, he was winding Hilary up “magpies aren’t pests, some can sing the National Anthem” is pretty much what Jeremy said

    I thought it was realistic and positive and I did not see/here Hilary or Jeremy say anything to the contrary.

    "I think it was a horrible advert for our way of life"

    Like most Media today - has a target and hidden agenda (not so hidden to logical thinkers)
    This hit the bulls eye no doubt

    Listening now to ZB on West Coast and its restriction of natural resources - most of course coming from same place as those Studio clowns/parrots
    Had a women from Forrest & Bird on - jesus :-(
    Then a woman from coast was on (just a ring in) - boy she was good - why can't people like her get into these "influential" seat/positions
    Think the answer is obvious
    Negative News/Statements/Views etc - get way more clicks than good common sense ones

    Really great to see this type of thing going on,, although the controlled media would rather boast young kids playing video games where they kill so called bad people eh.

    Yes - most mass shooting in last decade are almost identical to action seen in Video Games
    I am stating this with a son making huge income from being a developer
    So I personally think Video games and developers are more responsible for failure in society for idiots that go off the rails with weapons on man kind - than registered FAL holders or specific weapon actions

    Id have to disagree with this. Ive played violent videogames for 25+ years and ive never thought about emulating that sort if behaviour. I think some people are born with the wrong wiring. Blaming video games or movies or other outside influences is pretty much the same as ssying guns kill people.

    Now dont get me wrong, im sure that in a few instances some people with the wrong wiring will have seen a film or played a game that influenced a decision to harm others but its not fair as a blanket statement.

    That's like me (and prob 100% other on here)
    I have used "potentially" violent weapons for near on 60 years and never thought about emulating mass shooting behavior

    I played space invaders once and never understood what the big deal was. I have never played a video game since. Does this make me a closet pacifist?

    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

    Ha ha ha ha. My almost twenty year old grandson plays the games in his bedroom all the time and won’t take up my offers to use real firearms out in the fresh air.
