Oh my.

The Taverner primitive, who lives in Oakland, California, has a friend in Missouri?

A friend of mine got shot yesterday

He's OK - his family rents their land out for hunting. This is rural MO. Anyway, one of the hunters shot my friend, thinking he was "game" DESPITE THE FACT EVERYONE WEARS DAYGLO VESTS WHEN THE HUNTERS ARE THERE....grrrr
 
Got shot in the leg, which broke his femur, among other things.

He said it didn't hurt until he looked at the wound.

No more hunting on their property now.

Have any of you ever been shot?

6. Rather than tracking down the hunter (who did not identify him/herself)

He got a ride to the hospital

Hunters can be dumber than a box of rocks

Once, hunters asked him if they could ride ATVs all over his family's land while they hunted.

11. Not sure - what does one hunt in Missouri this time of year?

I am assuming something that doesn't hibernate...

15. Hunting never appealed to me

No desire to kill another animal (and I'm a carnivorous hypocrite) and no desire to wake up really early, go to the woods and just sit....
 
Fishing - at least I don't mind the death of the fish. Kind of hard to feel sorry for a trout.
 
Boars and deer, however...

16. Wow...so is it the sight of the wound that causes the feelings of pain

Or does it eventually hurt?

51. Not in my case

fractured femur, hard to walk.

I knew it, right away...

39. The few times I have shot a gun, I was scared to death of it ricocheting...

Well, I dunno.  I'm still trying to figure out if the Taverner primitive's allegation that he has a friend in Missouri is credible.

[formerlurker]

A lot of people who own acres of woods rent out their property to hunters for the week.  My friend's husband pays a few grand every year for 10 day hunting trips - can't remember what state he travels to.

I thought it was common, like renting your beach house.

Yeah, it is common, but commoner in more desirable areas, less common in less desirable areas (such as here).

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.

Locals though usually have no problem. A knock on the door and asking if it is OK is usually all it takes.

[FlippyDoo]

I find it hard to belief that Taverner has a friend. Any where.

Rural MO, and knows Taverner= Good chance of a meth lab.

[BlueStateSaint]

Maybe DAT can answer this (seeing that he's from MO), but I really don't know a game animal that would be in season in late March.  It's a ****ing lie.

The only thing I know that is open right now would be some small game stuff, like opossum, coyote, etc. 

I know there is some fowl stuff open, but he's making this out to sound unlike a shotgun wound, so...

Bullshit, this DUmmy is lying, not a word of any hunting accidents here in central Missouri for 19 March 2013, nor did I find any articles for other parts of the state.

Like Frank and many others have said, "Dummies lie, DUmmies lie all the time".

Jesus, can the addled druggie at least come up with something plausible for a bouncy because this one sucks.

Same thing here in So. Ill.  We have all kinds of excellent hunting in Shawnee Forest and I have never had to go find the property owner.  At least, I think it was National Forest.    The dumbass city hunter stories are many and legendary.  Quite frankly, the stupidity of a great many Chicago faux hunters makes me agree with not having a high powered rifle season.  There is, however, at least one season (or, there was) where you can use a rifle cartridge chambered pistol, ie. Thompson Center.  In over 30 years that I know of, no serious incidents I'm aware of.

Yes, there was a Chicagoan that brought a cow in to be tagged back in the 80's.

Can't remember the comedian that talked about that. Think it was Robin Williams. Said put to big ole branches on it's head... they won't know!!!!

I thought it was a BS story until I heard it from the butcher that dressed it out.  After fines, fees and recompense for the rancher, they told him you might as well get the meat.  So he did.

[DumbAss Tanker]

There isn't any actual game in season, at least nothing on which you would use a rifle of any sort...I think one of the rabbit seasons is open until the end of the month, but there are damned few of them around here compared to the flat corn country up north, so they don't get much hunting pressure from the humans down here in the southeast and east-central parts of the state.  We're actually in the dead month when the last dregs of the seasons from last year peter out (Squirrel season ended in mid-February) and it's time to get a new license, but nothing's in season so most put it off until Spring Turkey season next month, or later.  There are some critters you can shoot almost any time that aren't exactly game, like feral pigs, of course.  Perhaps Tav's friend shares his political and lifestyle habits, so that would be an understandable mistake.

I say 'Rifle' because getting hit with a shotgun that was close enough or shooting heavy enough projos to break your femur would do one Hell of a lot more damage than just simply breaking the femur.

[GOBUCKS]

Well of course this bouncy is entirely made up from thin airi.

But I'm sure DUmmy Taverner has had many acquaintances gunned down.

It isn't at all rare in the drug culture where he resides.

In the world of heroin addicts like Taverner, if one doesn't die from an OD, hot lead poisoning is the second-most common cause of death.

This is a blatant, transparent attempt at establishing Dumpster Street Cred.  "My friend was shot, therefore my extreme views on gun control carry more merit..."

A complete falsehood.   Not even remotely any chance of being true.

[JohnnyReb]

Once, hunters asked him if they could ride ATVs all over his family's land while they hunted.

At least they asked. I've had problems with kids from a housing development cutting the fence and riding dirt bikes and 4-wheelers all over my fields. Why do people that own just a half acre lot buy their kids such things and then just turn them loose to trespass all over everyone else?

I think I'll start cutting doughnuts in their front yards and see how they like it.

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. 

[AprilRazz]

If it is a friend of the Taverner primitive then I am sure it was a drug deal gone bad. But the hunting accident story seemed to go over better at the ED. Besides a wound like that would have to be reported to law enforcement and a paper trail will be available to follow.

There is no game in season that would require a round big enough to break a femur, you lying idiot.

Oh, absolutely.

We'll see the My-connection-friend-was-shot card a thousand times in the next 3 months.

****in' metrosexual, dope head, bitch boy that's scared to death of a firearm dares to tell those of us who own and respect them how we're going to live? 

Yeah, okay, Tavs, whatever the **** you say.   

By the way, about your bullshit bouncy?

[Airwolf]

After thinking about this,even if i is true how many of us here know someone that is getting shot at almost everyday or has been shot at as part of being in the service? Do we go online and post about it? Hunting accidents happen all the time some of them are self inflicted due to being stupid. it was probably something stupid that caused the whole deal and they won't report it because of that more then anything . Seeing as the femur was supposedly broken they can't hide that so the tale is ZERO BONG HITS.
