I do a fair amount of walking through and across creeks and streams every year. And, I can recall a few times when I was young and crazy that I ended up going for a swim. Luckily, I’m still here to tell you about it.
I’m not much on going to the hunting camp for two weeks with about five or six guys anymore. Been there, done that… I’m more of a solitary hunter these days. But, spending a week or two with a bunch of friends or family is a tradition that is hard to break for many people.
It scares the crap out of me when I think that a high powered rifle like say, a 30-06 or a .270 can travel an easy three miles and still kill someone. I see people hunting deer with rifles on flat farm land all the time, but I wonder if the shooter realizes just how far the bullet can go, even if it hits a deer?
Something I see a lot on hunting TV shows these days is hunters running with a loaded gun in their hands. Holy shit! On TV shows?
