AFTER reading your front page story (Calling The Shots, Upper Yarra Mail, 24 June) on hunting in the Millgrove-Warburton area, I wish to also voice my outrage at such a cop-out by the DEPI who states “it’s complicated”.
How complicated will it be when someone is shot, seriously injured or worse killed by a stray bullet.
If a bullet is aiming at a target and misses what happens to that bullet? Unless you’re telling me that every hunter is a perfect marksman… right!
Then save it for the Olympics, but not in our populated forests.
I heard a gunshot while walking on the Aqueduct Trail during the day, and I have not been back.
These areas are frequented by families. I think the DEPI needs to rethink their strategies or face the consequences.
L Ward,
Warburton.
