Like most people, I keep an ear out for shots in the distance. It amazes me how many times I hear shots sometimes.

I guess the norm would be the single shot or maybe two, but Who are these people that send 10 rounds at something??

Ever wonder about marksmanship of other hunters? Lol

Im always wondering the same thing. I understand a shot and then a follow up shot as a finisher. However, just yesterday I heard a shot then about an hour later from the same person heard 3 in quick succession. So Im assuming there was a bad shot then tracking then desperation shots when they spooked the wounded aninal but who knows? Those people scare me. Im just speculating but I think those are the people that are trigger happy and shoot at whatever movement they see and are the reason we have to wear orange.

Probably target shooting rather than hunting.

Or if there are pigs in the area they could be shooting at them. I have emptied the T3 many times on those bastards.

This, I have turned a deer hunt into a hog slaying escapade on a number of occasions when a sounder rolled into view.
