WTF is wrong with catching a fish and feeding your family with it?

Or popping a few rabbits in the scone for a nice stew?

Are you vegan?

So don't camp or 4wd in posted hunting areas.....or if you do, don't piss the hunters off, and they won't shoot at you

I remember a camping trip I did out west. I was on the ground in a tent in a bit of a depression. It was a heavily used campsite with car tracks everywhere. The others were sleeping on the roof of their 4WD. Around 2am some local bogans started doing burnouts just up the road. The others asked me if I was feeling safe down there on the ground, which was nice of them. Then around 3am the bogans started shooting, so it was my turn to ask the others how safe they were feeling up on the roof.

I thought they just would have laughed at you because you were sleeping in a depression.

We did a thorough risk assessment before setting up camp and decided that it was the most comfortable looking spot.

What are these "posted hunting areas" ?

Are they easy to identify for me, and hunters ?

Well given that there aren't all that many areas that allow hunting it shouldn't be hard to work out..

Here's a list of places in NSW
http://www.gamecouncil.nsw.gov.au/portal.asp?p=WhereCanIHunt

But really, almost all serious hunters won't shot near camping areas, and regardless of what the Wilderness Society says, they don't wander around, blasting away at shadows,and noises...Ammo is way too expensive, for a start and in Australia hunter 'cred' is built on accuracy (one shot kills, clean head shots etc) so serious hunters don't fire until they're sure of the target.

The occasional random bogans who DO do stuff like that are at more risk from the serious sportspeople, than you would be.

Its the bogan shooters I'm worried about.

Ive done a fair bit of shooting in my younger days, and its all fine outback on private farms where you know there are no people just wandering around,  but in more built up areas like Wattagans near sydney which is a big 4wd'ing and camping site, it can only end in tears.  Some very good hunters may follow your 'cred' ethic, but even then its easy to be focussed on your target that you forget what is behind it, or what a ricochet off a rock might hit.

Guns, forest and people just dont mix, IMO.

Well they did mix, successfully for many decades, with very little problem, so why they wouldn't now, I don't understand.

It wasn't a ditch. It was about 30m wide.

Perhaps he meant Gunns and forests don't mix.

Don't see a problem with it. Been shooting for over 40 years and never shot anyone yet.

Once qualified as a range officer and can hit 3 out of 5 stubby caps laid on their side on the 90m rail.

Usual alarmist bullshite.

What about insisting that hikers wear high visibility clothing, just like our road-workers? After all, they're the worried ones.
