My area is much the same - not too many single shots, but many rapid fire empty the gun wow there' s a deer shoot, shoot SHOOT!!!! kind of shots. People are nuts. A guy I know took a friend hunting that was not that experienced - he was out there with a bird barrell. He emptied his shotgun on a running buck. Found blood, trailed it to the source - he blew his BALLS off the poor deer. Keep in mind though, many gun hunters are good ethical hunters, but too many of them shoot at the whole deer and not the kill zone.
