Thread: Could it be so simple?

There is a huge responsibility in squeezing a trigger.
You are either trying to kill something or shooting an inanimate object.

Mindset should be a heap different to driving a car or a workplace scenario imo.

Apart from soldiers or police not many people go about their day with a normally higher risk of killing someone so I get your point.

Sorry but I would expect to be called an idiot and a whole lot worse if this happened to me.

You can keep your whiskey I only drink 2 brands and doubt something from Asia can compare. You are just trying to get rid of it😆

Cant follow your logic at all really.

I laughed when he showed me the bottle but had to eat some humble pie after tasting. Given you've slurped every bottle Iv turned up with and probably cant remember what was on the label I rekon I can at least change your mind on Asian whiskey

I will try any drink once I spose.

You're not even allowed to use butter so it no surprise you can't follow my logic.

You do like a good sized sample.

No I'm just not allowed to use YOUR butter which is just as logical Iv put a good amount of time looking for core sampling tools for the next trip.

Why bother the hole you dig into it would put any super pit mine to shame😆

I think having a "rule" for only shooting a 6 point stag in the month of april is a very good idea. As said above, doesn't need to be 100% enforced just the odd check at a road end and a bit of advertising around the fact that you "might" be checked would be enough for people to 2nd guess what they are shooting and ID the target. The idea has merit.

Disagree. Shouldn't matter what sort of deer it us. Hind, fawn. 6 or 16 You shouldn't shoot a human, maybe they could enforce that at the road ends

Just Identify your target

yeah saying "identify your target" on the internet certainly doesn't stop people shooting people. Should we just continue the way it is now?

I think that you , along with the majority of NZ hunters, are afraid of change. Non of us want a nanny state telling us what we can and cant do, but if we keep on doing what we always done, then we are going to keep on getting what we always got.
If we as a collective don't act, then the powers that be WILL act .

So change the arms code from Identify your target and have it say, Tell everyone where you are hunting so they dont shoot you??

Its not about change, Nothing wrong with whats there, simple thing is you need to identify your target. adding in all these other things is taking away from identifying your target.

Even doing target identification course with a pass or fail is not going to work, It is set up in a false environement and cant emulate being in the heat of the battle.

This is me speaking from seeing what i thought was a deer and it wasnt, it is also me leaving notes about where i am hunting (yes i do this in busy times) and still having a fark tard shoot past me and my son

It is human until proven (identify your target) otherwise, Not hard

You say the powers to be will change, So will they remove public holidays so there are not so many cars on the road, or enforce even days mean even street numbers drive?? How many Hunters in NZ v annual Deaths?? then look at drivers and deaths. Yes it matters to us the hunters and hits us harder than non hunters, They have stopped talking about it and we still are!! Has it made me more anxious to get out in the hills, hell yes. I have heard 4 more "close call or shear fark you attitudes in the last 2 weeks and thats in wellington alone. 2 of which were a father son combo so the father is not teaching the next generation good habbits, I hunt every weekend for 52 weeks of the year and it is only over this time i feel scared to go on my own. It shouldn't be this way

I say again, Identify your target beyond all doubt and life will be spared, even if the powers to be change things it will still happen, it is a fact of participating in a sport where we carry a device that kills things

Really, why do they worry you

Because instead of having a target animal in mind some have the mindset of if its brown its down and therefore, drum roll please.... don't properly identify the target

Sorry totally disagree, my target animal is a deer so I will shoot it regardless of what it it is after having positively identifying it. Does that make me a bad person??

you also forgot if if it's red it's dead or if it has eyes it dies.
