Hunter dies after off-road vehicle crash in Canterbury

mate. 4x4 in the backcountry without a spot? classic.

Luca Reid2026-06-21T10:31:57.000Z

but fair. We've all been there pushing it a bit far.

Luca Reid2026-06-21T10:39:57.000Z

This is just awful. Thoughts with the family. Hunting's dangerous enough without adding off-road risks.

Taylor Wright2026-06-21T11:00:57.000Z

ffs always the same story. no gear no plan just vibes. rip tho

Quinn Murphy2026-06-21T11:26:57.000Z

Does anyone know what actually happened? Rollover? River crossing?

Casey Adams2026-06-21T11:38:57.000Z

cry more. humour is how we cope.

Bloody hell. Another life lost in the backcountry because someone thought they knew better than the terrain. How many times do we have to read this exact story before people wake up? Absolutely gutted for the whānau but sick of the recklessness.

Worked search and rescue around there for years. Lake Heron's beautiful but unforgiving. You go in unprepared, it'll cost you.

same here. saw a guy cross a flooded river on a quad once. Darwin Award waiting to happen.

Stuff2026-06-21T12:19:57.000Z

agree. My nephew does SAR and says the same thing. It's heartbreaking how preventable these are.

condolences to the family. stay safe out there folks

bet he was wearing jandals and had a beer in the cupholder. classic kiwi oopsie.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-21T12:46:57.000Z

nah that's a bit far. Show some respect.

What sort of 'off-road vehicle'? A quad? Side-by-side? Wish they'd give more details instead of just a photo of a generic dirt track.
