    How the hell do you manage to do that in there? Especially a member of another party.

    Had a very close call in there myself , the guy with the rifle managed to control himself, and that's why I'm posting this.
    Second time I've been looking down a barrel, actually it was three barrels.

    So very sad.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Devastating, I'm sure more will come to light over the coming days the story doesn't read very well with such limited information but I assume who ever shot him hit the PLB truly sad for all involved. My thoughts go out .

    Just read the closed thread.
    If that’s indeed true there definitely needs to be a man slaughter charge laid.
    The rules of Te Urewera forbid hunting during darkness for this very reason.
    Condolences to the dudes family though.
    And a part of me feels bad for the shooter too.
    Hell of a thing to live with.
    I hope and pray I never make that mistake.

    The other threads was closed due to the nature of some of the posts, a lot of jumping to conclusions etc, out of respect for those involved let's not get into that here. There are real people involved and there are processes to be followed.

    More will come out in due course....right now my thoughts are with the victims
