I dont have a thermal but have hunted with guys that do and see them in the same light as a fish finder. Plenty of guys used thermals on Tahr but that didnt remove enough Tahr to save them from the...

As to the original question, yes illegal hunting and for that matter, anything else that brings our fraternity into disrepute pisses me off.

Yeah illegal hunting bothers me. When I'm in a private block, take an aimed shot at an animal and hear some poaching cunt yell out in panic from near by, that bothers me. Probably not as much as it...

Yes it bothers me, but I can only control what I do. Poaching, spotlighting on DOC land, disrespect for landowners etc is happening. Those same attitudes are evident in all facets of life, but I like...
