It amazes me when I read these stories and I make sure to share them with hunting friends.
Another stupid hunter trick I am always amazed at is the guys who put loaded rifles in their cars/trucks etc... and then when they get out and grab their rifles or shotguns, they pull them towards themselves by the barrel.
Back around '92 or '93 when I first came to Missouri, we went to a deer check in station and there was an ambulance and other emergency vehicles there. Apparently some guy was moving his rifle so he could pull the deer out of his truck and took a blast to the stomach. I do not know much more about the incidence other than what I was told and saw there, but I could not believe it.
