How the hell do you manage to do that in there? Especially a member of another party.
well if that article is correct WTAF is going on??? no charges laid and no arrest???
many laws were clearly broken if the goings on are as has been described in other thread
sad Christmas for more than one family too...at 63 he may well have been granddad as well as a dad...

Second time I've been looking down a barrel, actually it was three barrels.
A drilling? or three individualsQuote:

So very sad.
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.Quote:

Its a shocker for all concerned,especillys familly and friends.
Has the article been changed? There doesn't seem to be much detail there at all except "A Paeroa man has been fatally shot while hunting in the Te Urewera Ranges in Ruatāhuna.
The 63-year-old was found dead by police who were responding to the activation of a personal locator beacon around 2am on Friday, December 1.
A man, who is not thought to be known to the victim, is assisting police with their enquiries."
Hopefully it does come out IDC so others can learn from what happened in this sad situation.
Stuff page has a update.
@Kelton I suspect that one of the others in the party had the PLB and activated it...Or the victim may have had time to activate his (I do not know) but somehow I think if the PLB was hit that it would be damaged enough not to work...Quote:

Yet nothing on maim stream news(tv) ..strange day’s alright.
Incredibly sad news for his family & friends, losing a loved one in such tragic circumstances. One can only hope the investigation brings accountability and closure in near future.
Maybe more because of the crime scene ?Quote:

Our last search resulted in the body being choppered to the road then transported via hearse.
I worked with Mike and his brother in the early 2000s. A very end for Mike and his family.
Yup, death in the community. Police have jurisdiction under the guise of the coroner. Body is left to be part of the investigation and a machine wouldn't be used after the fact unless access issues were significant.
Body was flown out the day before I started the other thread. But nothing had hit the headlines.Quote:

Identify your target beyond all doubt,
Check your firing zone,
Store and transport firearms and ammunition safely,
Avoid alcohol or drugs when handling firearms.
Of course the actual rules state "every firearm" and "when you are ready to fire".
She confirmed she knows nothing about firearms or hunting, but also denied putting her own "touch" on the very simple rules.
She simply copied and pasted the content in the press release issued by the police
[shakes head]
I'll ask for a copy of the press release.
I think "Identify your target beyond all doubt" is the key issue in this case.
Yes, could be a bit more to it, talking to a family friendQuote:
