Sounds like California during deer season

A hunter was charged with homicide in the death of an 18-year-old boy who was shot and killed in his car while watching the sunset at a Pennsylvania state park.

Fucking idiots. They never shoot at all except for their one annual hunting trip, then they blast away at anything that moves. It got so bad that while I don't hunt, I made it a point to know the opening and closing days of the season just so I could stay the fuck out of the mountains then.

    There are several reasons I don't hunt, and this is one of them.

    It used to be rough here in my ao until the former game warden went on psycho leave and they got one worth his salt . We watched with great delite the new wardens first day as the big city trucks went down the road with their dash covered with multiple yellow papers . It was a beautiful sight .

    Yeah, one guy went around painting COW in white letters on the side of all his Angus cattle.
    The next day he found a bullet hole in his John Deere tractor.

    Agreed. I've seen everything from a guy passed out in the middle of a logging road so that no one could get around him to 3 guys road hunting at 5 miles per hour in an open topped jeep while driving down a state highway that I was hauling logs down. And both of these happened on opening day.
    The guy that was passed out acted surprised that there was anybody else on that road as he was groggily awakened, and the 3 guys in the jeep were completely unfazed that they were seen road hunting. After all, there aren't cops or wardens at 5000' on a state highway at 5 am on opening day of deer season, right?

    Bitd, I hunted deer as well and would hear stories of farmers who lost livestock - cattle and horses due to idiots unable to distinguish a deer from a domesticated animal. Also from my experience, I saw many hunters hunting with firearms far more powerful than needed for the task.

      When I lived in Georgia, saw a guy at a gun store asking if .460 Weatherby was enough to take down a local white tail.

      Yeah, it probably will, if your Jagdpanther with the 88mm is in the shop, but you are cutting it close, pal.

    Same here in Maine. We lost a friend of the family two years ago when she got shot by a hunter too close to her house. Dude’s in prison and ruined.

    sounds like Wisconsin's Thanksgiving Week deer season.

    It's the only week of the year where it's safer to be in Milwaukee than in the woods.

    Back when the SKS were the cheap gun and plentiful, I would hear from the next ridge and hollows and all thru the woods a ten round volley. Would find a few dead and left deer because they were using military ball. Stayed in the woods a little too long and would hunker down on the way back out, safety off because any fucker that started shooting at me was gonna get return fire. Daryl

    A good friend is a volunteer Chaplain with Texas Parks and Wildlife and one of the things he does is go with the Game Wardens when they notify next of kin of a death. Every Single One of those deaths is totally preventable. The stories I hear just make me want to give up on outdoor activities. I think it's part of the overall global idiocy problem. People are getting so stupid things are going to stop working soon. Think about the fact that we live in a country where a considerable number of people think Joe Biden should be President. It's getting scary out there and not just in the woods.

    We used to have to trade out our blue nomex for orange come hunting season.
    Obe year deer got into the plant and some idiot cane out of the woods on a quad, used our chain link fence as a bench rest and started blastibg away at the deer.

    Ignoring the fact that people were in the plant, it was proccessing 50mmscfd of 23% sour natural gas.
    The idiot hit a company trucks winshield and several support pillars before the screaming by an operator chased him off.

    Two of my high school class mates have been shot while hunting. First one was hit in the leg a number of years ago and made a full recovery. The second was shot thru both lower legs a few years ago and would have died if the 16 year old that shot him hadn't provided first aid and stopped the bleeding. I don't know if he is back to "normal" yet.

    I grew up in Upper Bucks. Went to high school near Lake Nockamixin. I never went near state game lands during deer season. I had a half mile walk to the bus stop. I always wore blaze during deer season. I only hunted on private property. Made damn sure what I was shooting at & what was behind it. I thought Bucks County had gone to only shotguns or black powder. Hunting was so prevalent, back then, that school was closed for the first day of deer, which is the Monday after Thanksgiving. They tried to have it open one year and less than half of the students showed up.

      I lived in Perkasie so I know the area. It is the second fatal shooting during deer hunting season I know of. BTW Pennsylvania does not have a Dept of Conservation, they have the PA Game Commission that overseas hunting and wildlife. I hunted ducks on the lake once it was created.

    It MIGHT be a spoof but there again, nowadays Poe's law kicks in most severely and too frequently to be sure.

    A friend down in Wyoming told me of an instance where a "hunter" shot someone in another group and, when he realized what he'd done, took off running. Someone took a bead on his back and stopped him cold. The judge ruled the second shooting justifiable homicide.
    He also told me of a much funnier incident where someone brought in a mule to be processed at the butcher where he worked.

    I hunt behind my house. I've got 11 acres, all woods. I never see any deer other than on my front lawn in the dark.

    still, I enjoy it, so that's enough.

    Any hunting is done in my back yard, or my neighbor's with their permission, although I don't hunt so that is moot.

    All these horror stories are precisely why I don't allow anyone to "hunt hogs" out here. Liability.
