re: Gun safety at the deer camp discussion

I have many friends I won't hunt with due to their lack of concern for safety.

I load when completely settled in blind or stand and unload completely prior to coming out. Normally leave the bolt open as well. I've shot all my life and I'm apprehensive as well. My father drilled safety into all of us.

Always wore a helmet riding motorcycles from the time I was six until I got rid of the last one at forty as well. My melon is my livelihood and I have other mouths I'm responsible for.
