Condolences to the young man's family and friends, totally devastating, and some thoughts also of the unfortunate shooter. One hell of a cross to bear for life, shooting a mate. Seems like the young bloke was an exceptional hunter for his age. R. I. P. fellow hunter and forum member.
Heard it on the radio at work this afternoon. Tis' a real shame. My thoughts and condolences go out to the grieving family.

Still having trouble comprehending the loss of such a talented and hard working young hunter, he had achieved more in his youth than most of us could ever dream. RIP.

Great guy,happy to share his Sambar spots and tips with other hunters,real loss to the hunting world.

not sure this is the right spot for my post but i dont think to many people look at the rip section a top young man from australia was shot and killed while hunting sambar yesterday nick welsh was only 19 years old his forum name is downunder hunter in his short hunting time took some fantastic trophys his highlight would be reciving the arthur bentley trophy for the largest sambar taken in that year plus his videos and photos of wild deer where top class you will be missed nick
