Note to self "unload shotgun BEFORE climbing tree!"

 

[686 Shooter]

One of my co-worker's father shot him in the shoulder with a deer slug, another co-worker's son managed to shoot himself in the leg, he ended up loosing the his foot. I once knew a farmer who had a hunter shoot and kill one of his Holsteins, mistook it for a deer. I personally don't think the woods is anyplace for me, I think I will just listen to the stories.

I've climbed bunches of trees, fences, hills, mountains with loaded guns. Even scaled the fence at a big name gun school with a loaded shotgun (well, see, we were out and got to talking and the lock sorted malfed and . . .).

Why aren't these jokers just slinging arms and climbing???

seen a guy in Story IN try to check in a calf in the mid 80's.....CO's had fun with him...

Maybe he doesn't have a sling on it...

Who doesn't put a sling on a long gun? Especially a working gun???



So many people, so many corrections to make.

Natural selection ......

That sucks, I hope it doesn't get too much worse for the guy.

But, it does bring this picture to mind.

 

[MRTOOSE]

I am glad it is just his foot. I guess its good to see stuff like this ever once and a while , good reminder to always handle weapon with care .

I have ALWAYS hauled my shotgun, bow, muzzleloader up after I climbed into my stand. MANY times I have also hauled my pack up too....I use para-cord, gun unloaded, muzzle down. With my muzzleloaders, if I didnt pull the cap off, I lowered the hammer down with a glove (or the like) between it and the cap.

Ive always been more comfortable climbing without a gun on my shoulder/back.

i heard another story about a guy in northern indiana that shot a buck, called his son to help him come clean it, got down to the buck the buck wasnt dead, it gorged him in the side and it hit him in the liver and when the son arrived the dad and the deer were both dead....a coworker of mine told me this story, not sure if its true or not, but man that would suck

Man, you could save a lot of time if you left your guns loaded when you pulled them up into the tree. I mean, doesn't it take seconds or even minutes to unload the gun then just have to load a round again?

Wow this is something Im sure if they showed in hunters ed courses, people would remember. I hoping he had a cell phone to reach somebody and didnt have to walk out of the woods like that.
