I had 3 deer slugs buzzing and clacking the horse weeds 2-3 feet from me the LAST time I went on a deer drive. Life is short enough as is.
After watching a few of Dan Infalt's videos on Wisconsin gun season I would not be out there without full body florescent orange and level 4 body armor with a trauma plate front and back.
Yes. I was amazed that one of his regulars was firing an AR repeatedly in a thicket at a running buck and you could hear the other guy off to his left. It seemed really dicey to me. Then the story of the two adults who stole the young guy's first deer right out from under him. Those guys were not part of Dan's crew but that's just nuts.His crews ethics where really on display in his newest video.
Holy mackerel where do you live? Downtown Fallujah?I've had a couple of close calls now that I think about it. The first was a 45-70 slug going into a tree near me when I was at a deer club down near Meridian as a kid. That was fun. Another time my cousin almost blew off my foot when his 12 gauge slipped and he caught it by the trigger, blowing a hole in the ground near my foot. I've been peppered more times than I can count on dove fields, and one time in high school I was driving down the road and a bullet blew out the passenger side window of my truck.
Mississippi...come for the heat, stay for the bullets, lol.Holy mackerel where do you live? Downtown Fallujah?
Actually several years ago my cousin was testing out one of his Uncle’s Model 700 in 7mmRem Mag in the woodchuck field. This was in the late 1980’s. I was with him. He cycled a round and besides the permanent tinnitus it caused in my left ear, it almost took the front quarter panel of my skull right off. The muzzle blast was enough to make me think I was a gonner. Thinking about that now, perhaps it wasn’t his fault. I had a trigger recall years later for mine and in thinking about this incident just realized he could have had a faulty trigger. Edit: To be clear, I wasn’t hit, but it was close…… too close!
There was a big class action settlement. You had so long to sign up and then they sent you a box and you had to send the gun in to a downstate contracted gunsmith to have the new triggers put in. I just bit the bullet and upgraded to a Timney.These were notorious. It took a long time for those to officially be recalled, in fact I don’t ever remember it becoming official. There was a story on 60 minutes probably 10 years ago or so with interviews with people injured or folks who were there when it happened.
How about the open fire from the guy shooting 10 times and then you hear the other guy blasting away. Then you hear the cross fire again when they swithch to the other camera. I'm just amazed the neighbors heard all that then wouldn't let them go after the deer he hip shot it the thicket. Really pathetic.Yes.

The article did not give alot of info. It did say the women was on private property (who's?).As a side note, I think that if the law mandates that all hunters using the area wear at lease 500 inches of florescent orange during any firearms season that this should be extended to anyone on that same property during that time period. I'm not for government getting into people's business but how does it make sense to make hunters wear orange and basically tell everyone else to tromp around in the open woods wearing anything they want. It would be fairly easy to post signs at the trail heads saying 500 inches of florescent orange required beyond this point until XYZ date or $500 fine. I do agree it is a general lack of knowledge on people part that puts them at risk. I think if they realized what they were doing they would not do it.
