Have there been any reports of accidental shootings from opening weekend?
I've heard one and that was a kid who accidentally shot himself in the leg with a 12 gauge.
I haven't heard a thing about any stray HPR rounds doing any damage.

No, but I read that it will happen alot. So it must be just a matter of time.

Heard of a young man's shooting himself in the leg with a shotgun opening day in Switzerland County, but I haven't heard any details.

Aren't we supposed to hear of a bunch more injured deer too?

Lets not judge anything by the events or lack of events in a single weekend.

Lets not judge anything by the events or lack of events in a single weekend. Sound advice, indeed. I just wish someone would have provided such advice to all those people who were judging the law BEFORE the events of a single weekend. Why, they had me convinced I was a dead man. 👍

There is a chance he will lose the leg from what I've heard. That's terrible! Wonder how it happened? I'm trying to picture how I could shoot my self in the knee with a shotgun. Foot, maybe, but knee seems kind of hard to do.

There is a chance he will lose the leg from what I've heard. Prayers for a full recovery. I will ask my brother today. He is building a new house on his farm and most if not all of the builders are from the Vevay area.

My kids go to school with him. My son talked to the kid who was hunting with him and that's what he told him. I don't know how you could shoot yourself like that. He said the bullet went through his knee and traveled down his leg. I wondered if he did it trying to tie it to a pull rope or something.

I used my .243 and it worked just as it does in Wi. Bang flop.

That would be interesting, thing is when checking game the rifle answer includes the PCR's so there is no way to know

I saw a lot of guys in camp with what they used last year, mostly .450 bushmaster. I took it as an opportunity to get a browning lol and I love it. It tore that big buck up with federal soft tips X-bolt. 243 with sigsaur-glass

My 870 12 gauge worked like it always has. It would be cool to take a deer with grandpa's .270, but I guess I'll have to wait until the legislators figure out a reason why they shouldn't be banned.

Out of the group of 30 that I hunt with only two of us changed to HPR.

Yeah; I suspect there will be more using their normal guns than those who change to a HPR.
