I'm sure that incident scared you, it would me, but I'm not sure the hunter is responsible for thinking about that when hunting. Now, if they were target shooting it's a whole different story.......

Yeah, my buddy and I pretty much bailed out of there. Almost had to change our britches. ha ha
Did you catch anything????
Pretty sure there is some law that states you can only hunt so many 100 yards from the water, or something like that.
In IN you are not allowed to shoot across a body of water with a rifle or pistol. Only allowed to shot over water with a shotgun while hunting waterfowl in Indiana.
Just like the guys who don't have common sense on water there are plenty who should not be hunting. You cannot fix stupid.
Anyone who shoots a gun better be aware of where their bullets will go. PERIOD!
My old neighbors wife was shot in the shoulder by a stray bullet and the people who fired the gun were target shooting. They are responsible for her medical bills and suffering.
You hunt or shoot a gun you are the responsible party. This is clear in the law and it's just common sense.
If you can't be sure where the bullet will go then don't pull the trigger.
My neighbor and his wife are suing the shooter for damages and I'll let you know the outcome of the law suit when I find out.
Personally, I think your dead wrong on this. ANYTIME you pick up a firearm, it is your responsibility to understand and KNOW where any bullet will go. If you're hunting near water, then it is YOUR responsibility to hunt safely. Anyone hunting around water when fishing is still in full swing needs to be more cautious........PERIOD.

this... if you shot somebody your defense of "It isnt the hunters responsibility to care about where the bullet ends up" probably would lead to you getting greater punishment.Personally, I think your dead wrong on this.

When I go out a fishin during the time of the great white hunter i dress in head to tow in my blazing colors. Stole a vest from my cousin todd that he worn when he had a job pickin up trash from the side of the road on hiway 44 near Joplin--bright yellow!!! Got a pair of suspender and pants that are that bright orange colors.
Figure contrasting are the best.
I might look like a yard ornament, but there aint a mouth breathing trigger man thats going to mistake me for a deer when I'm out draggin meat for giants! LOL!!!
Well I'm not sure how we could have been mistaken for deer since we were the only boat in that area and below a steep hill. ha ha ha
