    Taranaki Hunters be warned

    It would be nice to think that if you have your firearms licence that you use common sense. but it seams there are some out there that dont care where their bullets land.

    Bloody idiot few Mucko. They deserve whatever they get.
    mucko and stuart like this.
    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

    There are some fwits out there unfortunately.
    I got caught short on my way home last week, so stopped in at a small reserve off of the old 309 rd up here. Council have recently done a great job of revamping the place to attract familys for a picnic/swim etc.

    Sitting on the longdrop doing what ya do, and i notice several holes in the wall oposite me. Then I realised that there were corresponding holes dotted around my head and shoulder area. These were the exits.
    Farcking drongos have been shooting the longdrop building with everything from a shotty to what looked like 30 cal. Bullets have exited back of the building and gone towards the swimming hole about twenty meters away.
    I have told our local enforcement officer, but short of putting cameras up, there is not much they can do really.
