Thread: Man dies while hunting......

I dont know more corses will teach people how to ID the target....It may help though

I was at a camp site a weekend before this one and we setup on dark, Did a quick torch around afterwards (one of those fancy LED ones not a spot light) and bingo a set of eyes, Watched them for a while, showed the others but could only see one eye this time.

AT NO TIME DID WE EVEN CONSIDER A SHOT!

Guns were left in the tent, Next morning I figured someone must have put some reflectors up as it was still there (I could beleive how bright and green the reflectors were!) but the night before with the wind etc I could have sworn it wasn't reflectors as you couldn't always see them, branches blowing in the way? We went up and checked it out and yip reflectors in a bush, Now this was just above a main walking track and there were several holes in the board they were mounted on as well as broken branches around it....some real bad shots and this was on DOC land

ID The target

my thoughts go out to the families of those involved.

People please ID beyond doubt, Bino before lifting the rifle as it gives time for the brain to engage before getting the trigger finger ready
