Thread: Another Hunter Killed

I would just like to say ... the tone in general of the comments on here in relation to this tragedy seem reflective, concerned and empathetic, unlike some of the circus idiots venting elsewhere...

I believe the issues raised need our thoughts and require information sharing but calls for deterrent sentencing which can never work, and disturbing attitudes towards the unfortunate shooter have no place in public forums.

We have a lot more interest in Hunting and shooting than was around 20 years ago. Young people getting into it possibly don't have the traditional role models, that supposedly modelled appropriate behaviours for them, because of perhaps a missing generation of hunters from that time...

Some consideration for training may be necessary prior to the granting of DOC hunting permits, dealing with the specific risks and proceedures that are necessary for bush hunting where other people may be present. Maybe some periodic refresher as part of a club system would be a good thing.

I am usually the last person to suggest more beauraucracy for anything, but quite frankly I feel these accidents like a physical blow and it just makes me feel sick..
