What a piece of shit.
Here there's no tolerance for that crap. You can't just shoot at an intruder on your land. Well you can try and bet your ass you'll spend the rest of your life behind bars.
EDIT - I pray the next glass lens that looks at that guy, is the lens of a gun scope.

| Damn, Pret, that's pretty scary.
And it comes at a good time for me, reminding me to wear that silly orange mesh vest that I bought many years ago for shooting in the Virginia woods during the various hunting seasons. I've kept the vest in the Subaru Forester for years; now I'll be a bit more conscientious about putting it on.
However, I'm now thinking it would be a good idea to also get some stick-on international yellow strips for my backpacks since that occludes a lot of the vest from the rear view.
As a matter of fact, I routinely carry either an international yellow vest or jacket when shooting in the UK during pheasant hunting season.
And, having two German Shepherds, one here in the US and another in the UK, I'm glad to hear the dogs came through okay also.
Best wishes to your friend.

| Kelly,
Glad to see you're up and about enough to post here.
Whether in the US or the UK, I do always carry a cell phone and also a short-range walkie-talkie (FRS in the US, I believe), as well as ID and a GPS unit. There's no guarantee that I can reach anyone, but at least I could try.
My wife, who's more of a wildlife photographer, thinks I'm being silly, but I think your story adequately illustrates that prudence is a good idea.
Those tops (or even simple iron-on high-reflectance patches) are also a good idea. I tend to go for a variety of the patches because what's quite obvious at one time of year can easily blend into the background in another season.
And both my wife and I find it's a lot more fun to go on photo shoots together.
Again, best wishes for a complete recovery.

| I priced those reflective bands on eBay, but since I'm not usually in the woods at night, and since there won't be a direct light hitting me like car lights...I don't see what they would reflect. But I guess it would be a good idea for other areas that I might shoot in the future.
I do have walkie talkies...that is a good suggestion. I react (they make me sick) to electromagnetic freqs from cell phones and things that contact cell towers, so GPS is out of the question, but I was going to take my cell phone (and leave it turned off) for 911 calls just in case anything should happen to me...but I couldn't find it that morning so left without it...sigh...you never think it happen to you...until it does. Usually I am very prepared for all emergencies...but not that morning...and not for that situation. | |
