Thread: Kaimai shooters on target

This sign was originally put up after someone drove off the end of the track over a 80 metre bluff but now seems to be used by all and sundry as something to blow their frustrations off at after finding there are "no deer in the Kaimai's"...for those that worry about hunters 'image' this is a prime example of what is not needed...DoC would have been better off to have put up a bulls-eye target with safe backdrop, at least the general public would understand...in a perfect world all those bullet holes would have been made by owners of a FAL.

Bloody tossers.

Game / surveillance cams. Sign shooting has been common for a century.

I was in the Kaimanawa's a couple of weeks ago and seen the dunny had a few holes in it from dickheads shooting it...one can but hope they head count their mates before opening fire...this was in a block where the operators check firearm licenses before flying in.

Just nail up a finger sign next to it pointing west, with "To Ettamooga Pub" written on it.

I think the best joke I ever seen with that pub cartoon was the two Swedish back-packers wanting their photo taken outside of it and the Aussie in his black singlet holding and looking down at the camera and the caption was "Focus...yes yes...just as soon as you take the photo"

Looks well "aged" from the days when everyone could own a semi.

Imagine the 'thrill' of walking the North-South Track and someone up ahead is rattling off a thirty round mag around where you are about to step out of the bush.

W.T.F.? Could have been shot using any type of action.

Yes, it could but the ones who took great pleasure in spraying rounds about seemed to use semis. Don't find the large quantiles of m/t brass and shot up beer cartons, cans and bottles at old skid sites and forestry road turn arounds like were there in good old legal semi days.

No real difference around these parts. Still seem to be arse-holes out there that see the need to shoot DOC and road signs. Same problem with cans and bottles, mainly seem to be Tui and Cody drinkers along with the odd Heinekin.

Glad "Waikato" was missing, @Rushy won't have to defend his favorite nectar drinkers. Cody"s seems to be a favorite of the mobile "hunter"

Shit like this irritates me no end, it doesn't take much for doc to decide that FAL are not responsible enough to be trusted with a firearm in doc hunting areas and just close off hunting these areas due to negligence and endangering the public, then it's a loss for all. Some people must have a extremely small IQ.

I believe DoC are working on making the North-South Track into a Great Walks Track which will limit the distance from the track to hunt or discharge a firearm, my guess is that goes for bow hunters as well...of course this area will then have to be 1080'd to clear any animals from it...DoC will look at it from a public safety and their liability angle, one can thank the dickheads for this happening.

Staying at at hut midway down the kaimais and noticed the sign marking the nearest tracks and directions had 2 bullet holes in it. The kicker was the shooter was could've only done it from inside the hut
What the fuuuuuuuuuck is all I could think
