Look at this crap will ya . Bloody shocking ! No wonder bowhunting comes under threat all the time with idiots like this posting crap like this !

[Benny Nganabbarru]

I agree. Hunters should either stay away from posting stuff on youtube altogether, or at least exercise discretion. In general, neither scenario seems likely, sadly. The fellow who made this film will hopefully consider our concerns and make some changes.

[Gringa Bows]

seen that on another site,not a good thing for the people to see,the bloke had a gunpound and still could'nt hit it in the right place..........Rod.

[Coach]

Anyone see the arrows in the goats ass ? And how many arrows does one need to break ?

[Dennis La Varenne]

Dear God!!!!. Carnage is right, and it wasn't the broadheads.

Totally agree.

[piggy]

Although we all might agree re; youtube, by posting it up here you are just circulating items like this for more people to see and not helping our cause.

[jindydiver]

Yes the irony is that by putting a live link here you have increased the video's standing on Google and on the U-tube site, practically guaranteeing that more people (both "for" and "anti")are going to see it.

[Coach]

Yeah ya right ,, but then again , after seeing some of the crap on hunting sites , it cant be doing that much more damage and I am at least showing that we dont agree with this type of behaviour .

[aussiehunter]

i have to agree,its crap,id be asking if anyone knows him and get him to remove it...

pat

[Coach]

The chances are ,, that anyone that knows him , may be like him , and wouldnt ask him to remove it
How many of you fellas be honest and tall your mate he is is being a tool ?

[Nephew]

If his ego is fed by putting film of this kind of nonsense up online, no amount of talking will persuade him there is anything at all wrong with it. It's not about the ethics, nor the quality of his shooting, nor the sharpness of his hunting/outdoors skills to this chap, it's the fact that he's up there, online being watched...and folk like us are talking about him.
That's no criticism, Coach, he should be brought to attention even if just to be able to I.D. the man should you ever run into him, and know that this is not a man to invite share your campfire, y'know?
Just my perspective/opinion on his personality and fragile, but massive, ego.

[Stephen Georgiou]

Totally unacceptable.
What was he thinking??

[Mick Smith]

I haven't looked at this clip as it would take all day on my pathetic dial up access to open. I can imagine what it might be like though.

Talking about posting the details of events such as this on Ozbow and the adverse effect it might then have by further spreading the 'filth' it contains, perhaps it might be an idea for the Ozbow management team to introduce a 'members only' forum on the site, where sensitive subjects can be talked about in privacy. Other sites have them. You would need to be logged on inorder to open it. I think it would make a great deal of sense.

While it is good to publically condemn actions such as this online, there is definately a negative side.

Personally, I think that videos/DVDs, including the better ones, are really bad news for the future of bowhunting, as your average surburbinite who might happen to view it, just can't come to grips with reality of where their meat actually comes from. They're better off left in the dark. To us, it seems totally natural (and it is), but to some of the more insulated members of the public we probably appear to nothing but barbarians.

good idea mick

That isn't a bad idea Mick however these days it seems animal libbers etc that watch hunting forums simply have members join up and can see what is posted anyway. Technology works against us at times. Still worth considering though.

He could have been paid by animal rights groups to slander bowhunters. Just a thought. Over here there have been several publicity stunts staged to raise $$$$. I'd watch your animal rights people and government officials to see if they start howling about this in the coming months. Then the video was probably a plant.

[feral66]

Now I just had a look at that video and I might be mistaken but he's standing out in the open and one of the goats looks up at him and then continues to graze, so it looks to me like they may be domesticated and not feral. Or they might be used to humans correct me if I'm wrong. and if anyone recognize those guys give them a clip behind the ear for being complete morons.

[longbowinfected]

If you stay put and goats move up to our position, then you get up slowly they will often stay.
All my hunting is in rough hilly ground never in a rough flat paddock right next to my ute [check all the scenes with him near the ute]. I have never been hunting without a waterbottle, belt, pouch and knife at least.....even for a quick one or two hours......

This guy has driven his ute up to the goats, got out of the car with his mate who is taking the film and he is talking and shooting and the goats are still heads down......I wonder why I climb for hours in the early morning or afternoon just to get near a really feral mob....

The language he uses like "carnage" I have never heard from real hunters.
I would not brag to the world that I shot so badly at 30 and 15 metres even with a gunpound nor would I provide the RSPCA with evidence of such callous cruelty [disrespecting the animal and turning it into a pin cushion]

This is so stupid that for the first time ever I posted on youtube.
I think it is important that Joe Public realises that there are ethical hunters. Posers like him need to be challenged each and every time.......otherwise we lose..so too the victims of such action.

You know Bowdonkey your idea of him being a plant makes a lot of sense. It would be right up their devious alley!

Arrows in the goats ass?
Was that the second goat He shot I didn't watch it all as I to have dial up connection.
I only watched half up to when he hit the second one in the shoulder that was enough for me I'd like to know if he finished it off or left it to die.
