One thing we all agreed on was most people that end up making a horrible mistake all believed beforehand that it would never happen to them… I am guilty of this myself, I mean I think I would never be stupid enough to mistake a human for a deer. Most of those people that have done it though swear black and blue that they were shooting at a deer – signals in their brain though…

    We discussed a mindset in a lot of NZ hunters… it shouldn’t be “it moved therefore it is a deer” it should be “it moved therefore it is a human until I can prove it’s a deer”. Someone mentioned that to get a firearm license should mean you have to join a hunting club… we thought this wouldn’t be very useful cause our own club wasn’t doing much to promote hunter safety within the branch. That is going to change though, just before the roar we are going to get the club together and discuss firearm safety and a few close calls we have all been through. Try and get it to the front of our members minds.
