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?

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.

I saw the program live last night and was really cheered up by it.

A hunting program initiated by four mothers... that is just PC bullet proof. Add that it was an event that clearly brought Maori and Pakeha together.

I found the coverage by the two presenters was just their usual friendly banter. They rightly stated the program targeted pest species only which benefited the natural environment -- thus instantly cutting off a lot of potential criticism.

A suggested FB Post:

This was on live TV last night, by the Seven Sharp team.

What a great piece of outdoors NZ life - teaching youngsters to have a healthy, safe attitude to firearms, and pest control which does not include use of cruel poisons.
