Default RE: Deer Camp Rules

Ill give you one that I am a fan of.No loaded weapons in camp.Make them unload all guns before entering camp.I just about bought the farm a couple years ago when 5 or 6 of us all returned to the cabin at the same time just after dark.I had my hand on the screen door when,BOOM I thought someone had hit me in the head with a ball bat.

Down I went,hand to face,discovered blood thought it was all over.

One of the guys had an older remington 700 30.06 bolt action and it was one that was recalled years ago because of the fact that it could fire while taken safety off to unload.Yes I know thats stupid but thats how they were made.You could not open bolt without taken off safety.Anyway when he flipped the saftey the gun went off and bullet hit the bricks that are in front of cabin door and the brick fragments are what hit me in the face.Had about 10 holes through plexiglass on main cabin door from probably brick and bullet fragments.

After all the excitement was over,this fella was pretty upset and left for awhile.He comes back later and tells us that the same thing had happened several years before while unloading his gun before climbing out of his stand.Cant believe he hunted with it again after that but he was unaware of the recall.

I know long story but morale is No loaded guns in camp....
