The Friday before Christmas eve we had TWO different hunting accidents in Wake county were two people were shot. One was a 12 year old girl. She was in serious condition. I have not seen any other info on what happened. Raleigh, NC state capital is in Wake county and is one of the highest populated areas of the state. Back in the early/mid 90's a women was shot and killed while working in her back yard by a "hunter." She was wearing white gloves so she got shot. About the same time an idiot was "hunting" under the airport approaches and put a round in a plane. A few years back in my county we had to "accidents" that killed one man and left another seriously injured. A 17 year old shot at sounds in the dark way before sunrise and hit a man. I can't remember if he was killed or not.

probably not... otherwise they wouldn't come "clad " in orange. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I remember that woman getting killed also while she waved at the hunter to get out.
I also know a guy back in 1976 that was hunting up in Maine with his buddies. He was travelling a logging road in his brand new white and buckskin colored IH Scout . A stupid hunter put a bullet right through the rear quarter just missing the guy in the backseat. I guess his brain saw deer while his scope saw truck. Buck fever almost killed someone again.

Reminds me of when I was a 10 yr old kid sitting in church one sunday morn.
A loud crack was heard and I saw a bullet literally roll down the church isle.
Heeheh. The elders thought we were under seige. Investigation determined that it was a richocheted bullet from some idiot shooting down by the river. That .22 cal bullet penetrated the church wall and was apparently shot from about 1/4 mile away.
Whoever said church was boring??? We were expecting a lightning bolt and all we got was a bullet......! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

After a pregnant woman was killed in her car last year, PA considered making the southern tier of counties shotgun only. However, a study they conducted showed very little, if any, decrease in danger from stray projectiles. New York opened their southern tier counties to rifles this year, I wonder if they saw the same study? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Been there !!!! We took a 12 ga slug through our sliding glass door 3 years ago, crossed over my 4 year old son ( playing on the floor with blocks ) hit the TV cabinet and embedded in the wall. Shooter claimed they didn't see the house because it was too foggy. So much for knowing your downrange condition !!! Cost the shooter over $ 4000 for repairs. His insurance company was there the next day with the check. We didn't want to go any further...obviously the insurance company was afraid of a lawsuit.

#$%^&*() twits.
Well its my turn. Last weekend we heard shooting very late in the day on our western boundry. It was VERY close. It also was dark. I ran inside and ask the wife if she heard shots since I had been wearing my work tunes ear protection. She said yes off to the west. Well I put on a bullet resistent vest and put on my pistol and went for a walk. It was so dark I could not see anything so I went back inside.
Today I finished up chainsawing and was heading to the barn when I hear shots. I look and see two people shooting INTO my land. From the angle they where shooting AT the house which is 300-400 feet away, towards where I was just working or at my neighbors. None of which makes me happy. My kids bedroom is on this side of the house and it looked like their "aim" was over the house. I swear they shot into the tree rats nest which I despise and I think is illegal
I grabed the vest and pistol and went to have a chat. Well not much of a chat but more off a butt chewing. I was not nice. Course I could have and maybe should have called the law. They were two 20ish men. One with a 22 and another with a shotgun. Said they were hunting THEIR land. I pointed out what they had done and they shut up. This has been going on for a couple of weeks and I hope this is the end of it.
One of the things that really burns me is that the path they are walking I cleared on the property line. Its most certainly on my land. Course that is nothing compared to the direction they where shooting. Any way you look at it these idiots did not know the impact zone of the rounds. Which I pointed out to them.
I have had the land posted but the signs are mainly down even though I checked a few months ago and some of the signs where still up. The signs are a moot point, as I pointed out to them when they made the mistake of bringing it up since in my county they have to have written permission to hunt. The irony is that I just bought a bunch of signs to put up. Guess they go up Sunday. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
One of the things I pointed out to them is that we have had four hunting related shootings/deaths in the last few weeks and their behavior was not acceptable and made hunters look bad.
This burns me on so many levels. I'm so mad right now I would almost vote to ban hunting. My kids had been playing outside and had just gone in. My dad and I just built a playset for the kids for Christmas. The playset was withing eyesight of these idiots and my kids would be well exposed to the bozos. I am sure they had been hunting the boundry line for quite some time. I would be willing to bet they had shot in my direction when I was working the chainsaw....
I'm still steaming....
