When you are in a field with several other individuals, all of whom are running dogs to flush the quarry, a dog will flush a quarry of birds from the brush. When the birs flight, the hunter will take AIM at the bird(s) as they fly. the objective is to shoot a bird.

Now,,, and I have been in a situation, the height of the bird target MAY be at an alititude whereby a fellow associate hunter may be in in the MOA. I've had many rounds shot over my head. Is this a good situation? No. But it is part of field hunting.

I am certain, based upon Cheney's WY hunting background, that he was not "ill-trained." The man has been hunting longer than I have been alive.

As for accidents? Take a look at the number of automobile accidents, versus hunting accidents.
