Hunters shooting is usually tragic. (I'm on the animals' side... those poor deer, murdered by those evil hunters! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) If the hunter missed the target, that would be a GOOD thing. On the other hand, if the hunter shot himself, well... it's debatable whether that's tragic. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I forgot that you have the ability to read my mind, and in your all powerful mind is stored the knowledge of everything anyone can ever consider from every point that could ever be posed. Pat yourself on the back some more, really you are one in a million. I feel truly fortunate to have you nearby. But next time that you want to demonstrate your superiority for me try to tone it down some, you might bruise your back in the process. Are you smart enough to read between the lines on this one baby? What? Narf, where is the popcorn, I will take some this time.

alright guys, lets not turn this into the goods and evils of hunting. most hunters are very responsible and ecologically minded folks. hunting license and game tags are metered out by state and federal wild life agencies to controll populations. sure, some of the agencies *** up, and some of the hunters are pricks, but by and large its a responsible community.

and yes, i fully realize that the only reason animal populations need to be kept down, is because we encroach on their space. its a ***** being at the top of the food chain. if you burn down your house, i'll follow suit and do the same. go ahead, tell your wife I said it was okay, and mention that its for the deer and field mice.

if you really want to save animals, get a hunting license and purchase game tags, and then dont shoot anything. buying the tags will help fund your state wild life and open space agencies, and it will also stop someone else from buying the tags, whom might want to actually shoot something.

Okay. This looks like the place to put my comment, which is this:

If a person living in a rural setting (farm, forest, isolated village, etc) hears a shot fired, the assumption generally is that a deer, rabbit, or something of the kind is the target. On the other hand, a person living in an urban setting (such as Detroit) is more likely to assume that the target is another person. Flaws aside, I think that may be the reason for the results.
