You never heard of Hunters actually shooting themselves. They are the victims!!! People that live on the edge of woods that Hunters use have been victims and how can you blame a Hunter everytime he fires and does not hit his target and the victim is raking leaves and gets shot in his own yard. If you run into my firing line at the instant I am shooting it is your fault not mine.

Oh please, where do you get that from. I admit I live both out of the woods and in the woods, so maybe I'm unaware of what happens at the "edge" , but really, without something to back it up your post is a joke.

No, you make darn sure of not just your target, but the surroundings. That includes what is behind your target, the possibilities of people or other unintended targets moving into your line of fire, etc. If you're not completely sure, you don't fire. People who've been shot on the edge of woods are shot by careless hunters who don't take the time to know the lay of the land, their position and any possible people who might be in the area.
