Heard a sound and shot? Really? How old are you? How often do you get to go outside? Ever had a gun before? One with real bullets?


What exactly do you aim at when shooting at a sound? Center of mass of the sound? Just a bit off center of the sound so as to heart shoot it ( my sounds always go from right to left )?


Let's assume for a moment this fella is telling the truth through and through, could not be more remorseful, admits all liability for this. I believe a good old fashion caning is deserved here. I'm talking Imperial Britain style. Pomp and circumstance plenty of writhing, sweat, and anguish involved. Interviews with attending physicians plenty of graphic details of both the crime and the punishment. This DVD would be required viewing for anyone who entertains the notion of hunting EVER.


What kind of JACK WAGON shoots at a sound. They walk among us boys be careful out there. For Christ's sake be quiet. Incredible.

I think he just said it didn't have anything to do with her appearance. Probably trying not to hurt her feelings. 
 
Um um. That's right officer. It didn't have anything to do with her appearance. Really. I just heard a loud snuffling and grunting sound and some massive brush busting hog sounds coming from over there and assumed it was a hog.

I actually hunted with guys like this. Many years ago, a couple friends of mine, who I had hunted with before, and was comfortable with, teamed up with a couple other guys. Never met them before. Opening day of deer season. Put a drive on, and kicked up a deer, which immediately ran across in front of the drivers. Luckily, I was at the far right end, and the deer ran to the left. One guys son, was about 15-16 at the time, cut loose with a couple deer slugs, and put one in the dirt right between one of the standers legs, we had posted on a small hill. Needless to say, nobody hit the deer, one guy had to clean his shorts, and my friends and I walked back to our truck, and left. I'd rather hunt alone than with numbskulls like this. gypsyman

In mid 70's my uncle and father had to bring a guy out of the woods who had been shot by his hunting Partner. 
Guy heard a "sound"  and fired. Some partner he had there.

When firing at sounds - are they like birds?, do you have to lead a sound?


It doesn't take all kinds , there just are!!!.

Stupid acts like this is why non hunters.shooters consider gun owners dangerous . They only see the bad never the guy who hunted 60 years with out a bad thing happening from his shots.

I hunt in Minnesota, and can tell you that I've learned to be very careful around other people in the field when hunting public lands. Thare are A LOT of bad hunters in the field. It's not the majority, but there are so many that it is a glaring and obvious problem. Private land isn't much better because of the rampant tresspassing that occurs.
 
I have never gone a year without having at least two problem occasions.
 
My opinion is that if hunters have a bad reputation in Minnesota, it is generally well deserved.
 
This of course ruins it for the rest of us, who take pains to be sportsmanlike and ethical and careful.
 
I avoid the field entirely now during deer season. I used to hunt public land for deer, but the common place nature of dangerous incompetence is so widespread that I don't want anythinig to do with it.
 
I've been shot at and had the bullets whizzing by (a very interesting sound). And have been hit by a shotgun blast that was fortunately stopped by the dense material of my coat.

Because of the idiots with guns, I have to confine my hunting to local farms and hunting preserves.    I had to think long and hard on that decision because a preserve is not real hunting [despite the use of stands in both situations], after a situation I had with some dog hunters.    I felt that I was about to be shot for one pig.    I concluded that public land hunting around *&%#heads was not worth my life.     I just have to be careful and shooting pigs instead of hunting in general conversation.

They are indeed among us......
