Well actually .....having guided lots of bird hunters and been a pretty ardent bird hunter myself, I have been nailed a few times by over- exuberent bird hunters swinging on birds and basically not doing what they were told. Fortunately nothing but stinging a couple stuck in the skin. This is most likely attributable to the fact that we were ususally wearing fairly heavy clothing. And, yes I basically did chock it up to "Oh well, S&%t Happens." No, I didn't hunt with the offending parties ever again.....ended the hunt for a couple of clients and verbally ripped a strip off them a mile wide.
Oh, I can tell you that the worst gun handling I see on a regualr basis is by bird hunters and guys on deer drives.................
What I mean is that................many pages later on every forum in the US and Canada...........and thrashed in the newspapers too death, I am tired of the subject!!!
I am a little more concerned now over what is going on in the middle east and in other parts of the world.
