007hunter Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Over the past few days, well since Monday, there have been 3 shootings involving hunters just in my county! So guys, please be sure of your target and of where that bullet is going after you shoot. I can't remember any other year where there have been that many shootings locally. Be safe guys...

Jeramie Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Re: Folks, please be careful... I agree. Its seems there are far more shooting this year. For the life of me I cant understand why? Some people have a tendency to be careless and unfortunately we cant control that. Just make sure you're not one of those people.....

buckee Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Re: Folks, please be careful... Good reminder Filling your tag should not be your #1 priority when deciding to pull that trigger. Identify your target 100% before pulling that trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonhunter Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Re: Folks, please be careful... this is a good reminder and i think it should be pinned at the top of the deer hunting room this time of year. I recieved a pm from LIFENRA the other day, same subject he said he had a bullet go wizzing buy while in the stand. We deer hunt because we all love and enjoy it, and though i can think of worse ways to go, no one needs to be the cause of a cloud hanging over someone elses holidays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Re: Folks, please be careful... I install those little neon green stickers on my guns by the hammer. You know the ones, you seen them on shotguns and I've seen Rob Keck use them on Turkey Call. I got some at a trade show for free. It just makes you think again even though the adrenaline is running through your body. Hunt Safely is the message and in order to do that you must indentify your target and what is beyond it.

johnf Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Re: Folks, please be careful... That's one reason I like shoot single shots. You have to know what and where your target is and there's no second chance. There are too many people out there who shoot something brown moving through the woods. That's one reason I like the antler restircitions that we have. Anyone with ethics will wait to shoot what they see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Re: Folks, please be careful... Yeah I just found out about 2 accidental shootings while people were deer hunting in my county. One involve an Amish guy and the other was another deer hunter. Both were within driving distance of my home. Come on people, be ethical about hunting and know your target and beyond.

archerjg Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Re: Folks, please be careful... That is sad to hear I hope that people will slow down and identify their target better. Archerjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNRA Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Re: Folks, please be careful... I heard a lot of hunters say, "If its brown, its down!" With that kind of mentality no wonder people are being shot! Then again, like here in PA, our buck season used to be by itself! Now they have buck and doe season! I liked it better when it was on its own. That way you had to see if it was a buck!!! Not just to see if it was a deer! That way it made you LOOK harder!!!
