Hunting public land scares me a bit for this reason. Seems to be a bigger problem for deer hunters, a why this is is a mystery to me.

Yep, Unfortunatly it happened to a bloke down here in Tasmania while hunting Sambar. It was from memory August 04 and had the anti-gun psycos screaming BAN hunting in the Tassie forests but all was forgotten in a few days. Hardly even got a mention in the papers.

same thing happened to a friend of mine, his partner came outa bushes after they seperated and he blew his leg almost completely off with a 300 winchester mag.
