We called shotgun week idiot week when all the drunk hungover idiots come out and drive every inch of public property
They shoot everything that moves too
Well my friend i believe your story and just learn from it and just think how lucky you were not getting shot.
There are some real idiots oht there and i agree if someone is being stupid or unsafe somthing should be said asp to that idiot
Just my opinion. Stay safe my brothas Hint like a beastDouble Draw wrote:Last Friday, my last chance to hunt the rifle season in PA, I hiked into the farthest point in the public swamp I hunt. I was 300 yards from private.......
OP said he was in a swamp... That would imply it's not mountainous terrain. Therefor that would presume mostly level terrain absent steep changes in elevation. But he's since clarified so it makes more sense?
I'm from pa, and i can assure you, pa has plenty of hills next to swamps. They aren't 10 mile long swamps, more like 500 yard long swamps (for the most part) but there's not a single bit of his story that i wouldn't find feasible. There could have also been 2 hunters shooting at the 2 deer side-by-side, causing both shots to hit the tree. Plus, if the hunters were in a dip shooting over a hill side, I wouldn't be surprised if they couldn't see the hunter. This is why you don't shoot over hillsides.
Thank you for sharing the story.
