If all of the facts are correct in this post then I doubt it was someone just shooting cause he saw something move. I think it was probably on private land and he recieved a warning shot.
IMO, This thread sounds alot like what happened in Wisconsin. Luckily only one shot was fired. Your friend should be applauded for not returning fire. Glad to hear he is OK. The situation could have been very bad!!
