RE: Anybody else count gunshots?
I have counted in the past while rifle hunting the first morning, but the past couple seasons I havn't been out so I couldn't say. I know that 3 years ago or so, it wasn't uncommon to hear around 100 shots an hour. Alot of this was comming from the SGL's near my property and were usually groups of 4 to 5 shots taken rapidly by a hunter at a running deer. The funny part was listening to when the first shots rang out, I have sat there in near total darkness waiting for the sun to come up and have heard the shots ring out. The only way that I could see this possible is from guys pulling up to their parking spots and keeping the lights on in their trucks, hoping out and shooting deer that were literally in their headlights.
