When I first started rifle hunting for whitetails --- many years ago --- my deer hunting uncle once told me about a couple of accidents that happened on public hunting land in Western Maryland.
One deer hunter sat up against a large diameter tree --- somebody shot --- the bullet entered the back of the tree where the hunter was sitting....and traveled in an arc, just under the bark; that went halfway around the tree and exited out of the bark, hitting the hunter in the back and killing him.
One deer hunter claimed he shot at a fox that missed, but the bullet ricocheted off a rock that hit and killed another hunter.
