Thread: How Could This Happen ?

X2 on what @mopheadrob said.
Always a bit of a no-no shooting near huts when i was growing up. That was because of my mates dad, who was a forest ranger, and that rule did apply because of the predominantly non hunted track to the huts we used to frequent. Much more likely to see non hunters there.
Same went with the walking track they were on. Never had the gun loaded either. Did some very fruitless stalking on the tops by above the appropriately name top hut and its newly built replacement but quite a bit further around, plus a bit of the same by the old one hour back down the track, but again that was 10 min walk away and not on the track.
I will add though that some older school friends at that lower hut during some holidays in the rain and snow did resort to splitting some firewood with their 303's as some wanker had pinched the axe.
From this you could probably work out I havent done much hunting from huts. I'm sure there have been quite a few shot from huts now and again.
Bit of common sense applied here really but these young fellas have certainly been very fortunate they didnt kill someone
