M187,

No disrespect to "those from the city", but just in my county in the last 20 years, 2 horses and 3 cows have been shot by "city hunters".

Now granted, the cows were Jerseys and were young...but comeon, a cow?!

No, locals don't shoot cows. Locals jacklight, hunt without a license, and hunt completely out of season. Everybody has their problems.

But for the most part, I think 95-99% of ALL hunters are safe and conscientious about their hunting brethren, hence the low casualty/fatality rate nationwide.

The only thing about "city hunters" that bothers me, personally, is they get excited when they harvest a nice deer and start hollering at the top of their lungs, which spooks deer for the surrounding 10-20 acres......but I'll forego any bitterness there, a first time is a first time, period.
