Another hunter attacked in the Ureweras

[Dave Lobster]

was probably hunting gang members

Couldn't this be a state sponsored sport?

I hope he has better luck next time. Nobody really cares when gangsters go missing in the bush.

Their parole officers??

I want something sleek with a silencer.

A jury would be unlikley to convict.........

hmm...true that, but theres always stuff like manslaughter isnt there?

That, and their unemployed friends are the only ones available for jury duty.

Hey, the locals have got to get some "live prey" practice in from time to time... What's the military name for 'real life maneuvers'? Hunters beware!

I believe the military term for live target practice is "GET SUM!"

[PrincessBandit]

lol, I didn't think it was "hunters beware"

Is that like having a sexy missus with a tennis ball in her gob? (Or...)

That reminds me, what's Tama Iti up to these days?

As a parent and grandparent it has always been the rule:

"When children go quiet they are usually up to no good"!

Tama is like rust, it never sleeps, he likes to keep busy for the cause.

So, "where is he"? "What's he up to"?

[Dave Lobster]

"What's he up to"?

Maybe he's gainfully employed, working for a living, so hasn't got time to be doing stupid things. Maybe..

That is an area I used to hunt regularly, years ago!

Mostly on my own with 2 (bloody good) find bail and hold dogs.

Mostly stuck the pigs, made quite a lot of money packing meat out.

I only ever carried 4 shots in the mag and 1 in my pocket.

.243 BSA Majestic, very smooth quiet bolt action, hair triggered with Lyman scope.

The 5th round went into the chamber with the bolt (safely) closed on it as soon I started hunting.

I could shoot fast and accurate when required and if I ever needed more than 5 rounds I considered it a very bad day!

If I found myself in that guy's situation I don't think the outcome would have been much different than his!

Oh and in those days I could really look after myself too.

It's something you expect in the movies, not hunting around the Ureweras, or anywhere else in New Zealand.

Times have certainly changed!

PC do-gooders have brought New Zealand to this! (IMHO)

im not sure the guy was hunting pigs to start with ? was probably hunting gang members, they just got the better of him this time.
I hope he has better luck next time. Nobody really cares when gangsters go missing in the bush.

But how do you Douglas score loser heads??

[FJRider]

Perhaps next time, he'll take a shiny rifle ... with a blocked barrel. And wait for the bang after it gets stolen off him.
He could have trained his dogs a bit better.
