yes that is correct.
I believe at the minute 13 national parks are proposed.. for hunting.
once research, or the evaluation then the 79 will either be going ahead or not..
sadly with everything.. and in any field, work or other you will always find the rogues that don't play by the rules, or have no care for anyone..
these people bring the whole shooting fraternity into disrepute..
just like the whole cattle export ban overseas..
only a few abbitours doing the wrong thing crippled the industry..
which Mr Ludwig shut it down.. with massive ramifications.
whole point is you will always find an element of humans in anything doing wrong.
im sad you had to be put in that position, that no proper hunter would ever want to be put in themselves.. being a close call to being shot.
we stand by ethics where we aim to kill with one bullet, and show compassion to the animal to kill most humanely and ethically.
and if needs another shot, very quickly followed to put the animal down and reduce pain and suffering caused by a misplaced shot.
this is far more humane that any poison.
which can take days to a week to kill the animal.
that is also correct that "this" hunter that you mention has no regard for his or the welfare of the publics safety at hand..
we stand by a code of safety at all times..
identify the target and beyond the animal.
if unsafe do not shoot !!
as you said....
"Trouble is with this activity (shooting) mistakes (if that is what they are. Disregard of rules and safety is not a mistake, it is a conscious action) are so easily fatal."
this is soo true, but this person isn't a hunter at all..
there just a cowboy out for a killing no matter what risk..
this element needs to be removed.. from the hunting fraternity.
and yes state parks in nsw are off limits.....shooting wise..
in Victoria is unchanged.. shooting in state parks..
Shooting in national parks with the required R licence.. un changed
for specific game..
its very obvious the above people caught out shooting near humans around dusk ? or after are not real hunters at all...
this is most dangerous, its obvious to a hunter.. once the sun goes down you cant see much in front of you let alone behind the target your shooting
im not here to represent a one sided view..
im open for discussion..
and the above post is brilliant by Frank P
and I agree..
but as I said, these people aren't hunters..
don't act to a code or ethics we hunters live by...
