Some of the rural areas in WI that I have deer hunted were more dangerous because of the local's propensity for sound shots. That is shooting at the direction of a sound without verifying that a deer is the one making it. 

And that is as completely untrue as any bouncy a DUmpmonkey ever manufactured.

The hateful myth about "sound shots" is used exclusively by the most virulent anti-hunters.

It does not and cannot happen, and is recognized as a lie by anyone who has actually spent time in the woods.

You may have heard about it, but I'm shocked that anyone who claims to have hunted would believe it.

Are you from from WI? If so, I suggest you hang out at The Lure in Adams County this fall during the gun deer hunt and just ask some the hunters if they got anything.

I used to hunt over on the paper mill land near lake Arrowhead but I do not any more. I bought some land in a different county so that I can avoid the pumpkin patch that public access land has become on opening day.

Plenty of pro-hunting people and forums talk about sound-shots. Should sound shots happen? No. Saying they never happen is just ignorant.

Have to disagree with you there, in fact one of the few hunting fatalities in the last dozen or so years locally was caused by exactly that.  Alcohol was a factor in it also.

Anything worth shooting once is worth shooting at least twice.

Riiiiight. Convinced me. Must be a local thing.

People who don't hunt may believe anything, so the truth's at a disadvantage.

Not anymore. At least around here. Too much liability with dumbass hunters from the cities that cannot seem to understand if you can't see it and got a shot you can reasonably make, then you don't pull the trigger.
The point of my post was that dumbass hunters can also be from rural areas as well. Being from the city I thought I would give the opposing view point with an example. That it was not clear is my fault and not yours and I apologize for any misunderstanding.

Shooting at sounds is a good way to get someone dead. I don't think it happens down here, or I haven't heard of it happening. People here fire back.

A stray drunk may do anything at any time.

In over fifty years of hunting, I've yet to see my first drunk hunter, but you can't prove a negative and anti-hunters take advantage of that.

You are far more likely to be stricken dead of a heart attack or fall out of a tree than to be shot while hunting, no matter what state you're in.

I haven't seen data, but I suspect hunting is a lot safer than fishing because you don't drown if you fall in the leaves.

And statistics show that the minuscule number of accidental shootings are overwhelmingly either a halfwit shooting himself or the buddy
walking along directly in front of him.
