There is so much shooting out here that everytime I step outside to have a smoke, you can take bets on what will get me first....smoking or a stray bullet.
Yeah, I hear that.
Two guys got shot here recently.
One guy was on his way to his ATV after last legal light so he could go home, and he was shot from behind.
Apparently, someone hunting after last legal light thought they saw a deer and fired.
Once they ran up to see what they'd 'bagged', they ran off.
Whoever they are, they should turn themselves in.
Another guy got shot not just once but twice with a bolt action 7mm.
Once in the thigh, and once in the gut.
The ambulance got to him in time.
He's still in critical, but stable and will recover last I heard.
And it isn't the locals or those who have hunted all their lives doing the shooting, it's the wannabe hunters who spent lots of money on gear to impress people, and then go out and jack deer in someone's back yard that are doing the shooting.
I was driving down the road, and some idiot was taking pot shots at deer from right next to the road!
Wished I could "Zot" him for stupidity, would save him the trouble of doing something even more brain dead.
Of course, an industrial strength electric cattle prod probably wouldn't have fazed him much anyway.
I've watched the local hunters literally flee from the woods once the wannabes show up.
