Default RE: Hunters, anyone almost get shot while hunting?

I hunting buddy of mine was hunting pigs with his friend and had his ten year old kid next to him. I guess his friend was off somewhere in the bushes either blocking trail if they had dogs, or he just happened to jump one. Shot the first shot at the pig and and my buddy in the backgrown on a road with his son and heard the buckshot fly right over their heads. Second shot, a 00 bcuk hit him right in the chest. He took one step and collapsed. He survived but the bullet is close to his spine and could not be taken out. That wasn' t very long ago.

I was almost shot once but not while hunting. I was filming by friends surfing. I was on boulder beach on Maui (Hanakahau) and a bunch dumb kids were cruising behind me for a while and then started shooting a semi auto 22 in the background. And I was sitting there filming a friend on a wave when they started shooting off a bunch off shots at a stump off to the side. I was behind a small bush but they should have been able to see me through it or see my head. They shot a bunch of shots for a few minutes and then I though to myself " I wonder if they see me" and right then PEEWWWWWWwwwwww, fricken 22 went singing off a rock 10 feet away. I even got it on tape. It came out very very loud on the video. I jumped up cussing and they all were pretty surprized and started giggling. I would have started cracking guys if there weren' t 7 to 1. Later when my friends came it, I learned that they were even shooting shots towards them too. My friend said a couple times they even pointed the gun towards them way out in the water and they could hear a couple shots go singing over their head.

These kids were pretty immature and disrespectful. I was surprized that they actually were shooting at a public beach. Where they were shooting at first was a a safe spot but when they shot towards me, my friends were actually in the backgrownd. And later when I learned they were shooting over their heads, I was even more surprized. Garenteed all future Ice-heads and theves.

Me and my friends were hunting pigs with bow one day and I flushed some pigs and one stopped just before jumping into some bushes and I drew back but it jump into the bush just as I came to full draw. Good thing I never shot tho cause it jumped into the bush only 5 feet away from my friend. I hadn' t seen him for a while.
