    I hope they are wrong.
    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

    Hunter fatally shot in chest - national | Stuff.co.nz

    Serious jail time is needed for these things.
    Fictitious deer no matter what science says is not a genuine or realistic excuse. I am assuming the poor bugger was not identified and shot.
    Can't say I have ever seen a phantom deer or anything for that matter.
    It is just seriously poor judgment, period.
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.

    Bit feckin late for that reminder. Bloody sad.

    Detective sergeant Mark McCloy said all hunters were reminded that this was a busy time in the bush and it was imperative that people identify their target.

    "If in doubt, do not fire."

    Firstly, sincere condolonces to those concerned.
    Secondly, I hate to say it, but until these incidents are seen as a form of criminal negligence and NOT a fucking accident, nothing is going to change.

    My thoughts go to family and friends. Such a needless loss of life.

    Oh Jesus.... scary stuff, just think if its your partner that gets 'that call', unimaginable. Thoughts with his family, friends and his hunting mates who were there with him, not something i would ever want to have to deal with.

    Sounds like he was shot and the gutless asshole that did it buggered off?!?
    Reading another report makes it sound like they don't know who the shooter was.

    +1 Horrendous scary stuff, it really pisses me off that the 'target is not 100% verified, before the finger goes to the trigger'......every year the same old story!
    While I might not be as good as I once was, Im as good once as I ever was!

    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
