Yep.
What specifically are we talking about here can i ask...?
Refers to this from Duncan:
"I wish I was as careful as you.At the farm one foggy night I shot whatI thought was a fox between the eyes and it was a newborn calf.It would not have made it through the night as it had been abandoned.It tasted great but I am glad the farmer did not miss it as he keeps stock for keeping the grass down and beef.they are mostly friesan and I have never seen a calf on the property in 25 years"
Duncan's post refers to what I regard as three key ethical and moral failures within the one paragraph. (1) failed to be absolutely certain of the target before pulling the trigger. (2) failed to take responsibility for his mistake and own up to the farmer that he had killed one of the farmers livestock, (3) took the meat from the calf he killed off of the farm without permission.

Totally agree with you.
The property on which I live is now off limits to any shooters but family, and myself as the one trusted with the responsibility of controlling ferals on the part of it where the house I rent is located, for precisely this sort of careless, dishonest and disrespectful behaviour by shooters in the past.
Killing a valuable stock animal after carelessly misidentifying it is one thing, and accidents occasionally happen but hiding it from the owner, whose livelihood is derived from those animals, is morally wrong, and taking the animal off the property without permission is a criminal act of theft.
These are exactly the sort of behaviours that brand all responsible shooters as the murderous rednecks the the lace panties at GCA would have the uninformed public believe we are.

I stock the fridge and cupboard and clean the house from head to toe before i leave. I dont take this property for granted as despite all my efforts it is my only property i have access to.
Darren the property owner made it very clear that he only allows family friends and his son to shoot on the property due to gates being left open and livestock loss.
This being said I encourage that all persons treat properties in the same manor. If we want to regain the trust of farmers and property owners we all need to do our bit to restore trust in the comunity.
