RE: friend almost shot
Scary stuff, that's for sure.
That is why I avoid hunting public land at all costs. Lot's of joe-blows out there during gun season, probably still drunk from the night before. And it all came to a head while walking some public land in shotgun only country, running into a couple of guys carring .30-06's.
Give me private land or give me death!!! (Not saying you can't get shot on private land, but I think your chances decrease 99.9%)

If a person shoots at movement enough times, sooner or later, they are going to shoot something that doesn't need shooting!
If people you know hunt like these idiots you need to turn them in.

I think it was probably on private land and he recieved a warning shot.

If all of the facts are correct in this post then I doubt it was someone just shooting cause he saw something move. I think it was probably on private land and he recieved a warning shot.

RE: friend almost shot
IMO, This thread sounds alot like what happened in Wisconsin. Luckily only one shot was fired. Your friend should be applauded for not returning fire. Glad to hear he is OK. The situation could have been very bad!!
Very true!!
