PARKS Victoria has warned off shooters from the Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park after campers told of hearing hunters’ gunshots nearby at the weekend. Area chief ranger Andrew McDougall said anyone who witnessed suspicious activity should report it immediately. “If in doubt about the land where the activity occurs, still report it to Parks Victoria who can look into it,” he said. One of the Shepparton-based campers, who wished to remain anonymous, said the foursome was staying on private land next to the national park when they heard gunshots on Saturday night. The man said he spotted a four-wheel-drive, with covered number plates about 9pm, which they decided to pursue. When the vehicle entered the private property, the man fronted it, before it sped off, and said there were five males in the car with three stag-hounds.  “As soon as I saw the chest plate armour on the dogs, and the spotlights on the van, I knew they were chasing pigs,” he said. “People randomly shooting rifles in national parks, you don't know which way it's going.” The landholder of the property, who also requested his name be withheld, said he usually would not have contacted police. “I’m pro-hunting but we were worried about people's safety,” he said.  The landholder said he warned the campers to keep an eye out for trespassers. “I had found a wombat and a couple of native wallabies shot on the property several weeks ago,” he said. “They should be charged for having dogs in the national park.” Beechworth police Senior Constable Steve Harris confirmed a group of men was found carrying no firearms and inquiries were pending.
