Many years ago i had a friend on a volunteer ambulance squad in southern MD. On opening day of deer season he responded to two shootings in Charles county. One hunter was shot right in the belly button and was dead when the ambulance arrived. The other hunter was shot by a guy who followed up on his shot, said nothing, then turned and left. Luckily another hunter heard the man calling for help and responded. The sheriff caught the shooter and off he went to Jessop prison.

Deer hunters in southern MD could use only shotguns and slugs.
