We talk about how to stay safe over the festive season and look back on 2014. Have a great Christmas and a safe New Year from the Hunting Show ! The Firearms Safety Code: 1. Treat every firearm as loaded Check every firearm yourself. Pass or accept only an open or unloaded firearm. 2. Always point firearms in a safe direction Loaded or unloaded, always point the muzzle in a safe direction. 3. Load a firearm only when ready to fire Load the magazine only when you reach your shooting area. Load the chamber only when ready to shoot. Completely unload before leaving the shooting area. 4. Identify your target beyond all doubt Movement, colour, sound and shape can all deceive you. Assume colour, shape, sound, and shape to be human until proven otherwise. 5. Check your firing zone THINK: What may happen if you miss your target? What might you hit between you and the target or beyond? Do not fire when you know others are in your firing zone. 6. Store firearms and ammunition safely When not in use, lock away the bolt, firearm and ammunition separately. Never leave firearms in a vehicle that is unattended. 7. Avoid alcohol or drugs when handling firearms Good judgement is the key to safe use of firearms. http://www.mountainsafety.org.nz

This week Stephen has to make good with Wendys fast food (long story) and an interview with Greig Caigou about the book The Heart of Hunting About wildness and hunting in New Zealand By Greig Caigou and Matt Winter The Heart of Hunting sets out to capture the essence of the hunting experience in New Zealand, by reflecting not only on hunting itself, but on the experience of wilderness that is so key to this cherished activity. The writer, Greig Caigou, combines storytelling and meditations on many aspects of hunting, all of which is based on the premise that wildlife is truly understood, and often deeply appreciated, through the eye of a hunter. Integral to the book are the wonderful wildlife photographs of Matt Winter, whose motivation is always to celebrate wild animals in their natural environments. www.craigpotton.co.nz/store/the-heart-of-hunting
This weeks interview is with Bill Davis from DHNZCT he tells us how they assist disabled men and women, who had in the past or now have the desire to hunt both small and large game or to fish lake, sea or river by providing the tools and locations to find the hunter inside. It is hoped that by trying a challenging outdoor experience like hunting/fishing that those with spinal injuries might either find a sport they can experience from a new level or go on to find other outlets equally challenging. The trusts hope is it will give an insight into finding a reason to live their new life with as much energy and joy as before their spinal injury. While it is true that hunting for the disabled will be a different experience than for the able bodied it will none the less be a unique experience. Your hunting guide will take you to remote locations where only disabled hunters can access; this gives the hunter as good a chance as an able bodied hunter of securing some game See http://www.disabledhunting.org for more info

From the ABC's Bush Telegraph with Cameron Wilson, Young Australian volunteers unwittingly paying to prop up 'cruel' canned hunting industry: South African conservationist. oung Australian volunteers are flying to South Africa and helping to raise lion cubs in the belief that they are going to be released back into the wild, only for those lions to be used purely for canned hunting purposes. That is the allegation of Ian Michler, a South African journalist and conservationist who has lobbied internationally to close down the canned hunting industry. 'A lot of young students are being lured over there, they are paying up to $1,000 a week to breeders to go and work in these properties on the grounds that they are doing something constructive for conservation,' said Mr Michler. 'It's a con.' Canned hunting takes place in confined environments, where animals, most commonly lions, have been bred to be killed. It differs from more traditional 'fair-chase' hunting, where the hunt takes place in an area large enough for the animal to have a chance of escape. 'In this day and age, where everything is on demand, canned hunting is a form where you can get your animal a lot cheaper, you can get it in a shorter period of time, and it is guaranteed,' said Mr Michler. 'The animal has no chance of escape.' Thank you to the ABC's Bush Telegraph for this Audio
