Another dead hunter

[JoseCuervo]

I remember the year I took hunter education they told us the most common hunting accident that year was one guy shooting another when they got out of opposite sides of a pickup and were each pulling their gun out while it was pointed at the other.

I saw a classic redneck solution to this one this past weekend.... The guy had one of those hard plastic Kolpin ATV boots/gun cases bolted into the BACK of his pick up, just over the wheel well. The butt of the gun stuck up over the side rail of his pick up about a foot.

It allowed him to road-hunt and jump out of his pick-up and get his gun without worrying about hanging his sling up on the gear shifter, or banging the scope on the steering wheel, or, even worse, having the muzzle bounce off the transmission hump and land down by the gas pedal.

....hmmmm, sounds a bit like the voice of experience?

Hunting should require an IQ test, but clearly that would weed out the numbers of guys buying licenses..

I wore orange this year for the first time in a long time. It gave me some good piece of mind even if it was usually just a hat. I plan to pick up a lightweight orange vest before next fall, as has been stated in this thread there are just too many idiots out there.

I am not too sure that wearing orange doesn't just make an easier target.
I too am an experienced been driving logging roads "shineing" animals for a long time.
Sunday I got two sound shots and one movement shot.
