    Default Hunting Public is Dangerous

    Heard a Man got shot on Sumter national last Saturday around union.

    It’s been crazy how many people are hunting now, I see them on the way to my lease.

    I had a guy slide in on my lease from public today, dumbass came to my Yelp.

    He is a family friend. Was not a good situation. Close range to the face and upper body and the guy who shot him did not try to render aid. He is a very experienced turkey hunter, it can happen to anyone.

    Rumor has it the shooter tried to run?

    Luckily he didn’t have TSS.

    Copper plated #6's I what I was told. I hope he had it together enough to remember specifics. I'd make it my lifes mission to find that sumbitch and return the favor.

    I never can understand how someone could shoot a person while turkey hunting.

    Even if you hear a gobble you have to distinguish a hen from a gobbler.
    Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.

    The worse part is, he stumbled his way a ways back out to the road and ran into another hunter walking out and asked for help and said that he'd been shot.

    Said hunter said "I know, I was the one that shot you" And then continued not to be a help at all.

    I don't understand how anyone gets shot hunting period. You have to be a total idiot to shoot someone hunting. If you get so excited that you can't tell what you're shooting at, you need to find another hobby.

    If true, fuck that other hunter.

    I don't know how these things happens as is, but how do you not help?

    Don't know if you can blame it all on public, seems like more often than not the people involved are in the same hunting party.

    The impression I got it was a fuck you shot over the head (He was walking a creek bed) for screwing up the shooter's hunt.

    This could happen on the finest of private land leases and not just WMA. Friend or foe, in-law or outlaw. Folks with or without permission to hunt there could be shooter or victim.

    I agree with Gut Pile. Not rendering aid is horrible.

    There would have been two people with gunshot wounds at that point
