This was a canned hunt, not combat.
Most of the time, people get in traffic accidents because they do something wrong. The accident where both parties are paying attention and following the rules of the road is the exception.
If someone shoots another person with #8 birdshot in a field, the shooter did something wrong. Period. For you to contend otherwise is to send a dangerous message to young outdoor sportsmen.
This was not a "canned" field hunt. This is not like sporting clays, trap, skeet.
"This was a canned hunt"
Where do you get that?
And how would you even be able to do a "canned hunt" with quail, short of hunting in an aviary?
