You too? Well, that makes four of us! At least two of us were smart enough to not shoot up the neighborhood. Finding yourself in a situation like that, and knowing how 'anti-gun' the New York authorities are, that's got to be pretty scary. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes. Apparently the guy who shot the pickup actually fired across a public road. Now that really was dumb!
The stuff we did usually involved too many hunters in too small of a hunting area. A couple of deer break out and everyone starts shooting. I cringe to this day at some of those times. The deer generally got away. It is amazing how one deer gets missed by 30 guys. As we got older we got smarter and the close calls stopped.
But to take a shot well after dark when you can't tell what you are shooting at, in areas where non hunters could be, that we didn't do.
