Can’t remember the distances or what but was farther then one would think. Wind can have an effect also. I try to stay away from places as far as possible, cause that’s one thing I don’t want to worry about.

I live right across the road from a popular but private goose and dove hunting hunting field. All of the neighbors, even non-hunters, are very accepting and patient with the noise, etc. They do get pretty excited, though, when their houses and vehicles are getting peppered by some idiot shooting toward them. Don't let it happen. Moosetrot

He didn't care but I don't think most people would be so understanding. He hunted with us the next day. Lol Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Im guessing 500 yards away but i still played it through my mind if i would shoot at a bird flying toward the house. I dont think so, even though i dont think any would reach it.

Most folks don't want to wake up to a rooster crowing, let alone shotgun blasts Now if some idiot puts a subdivision in the middle of ag fields .........................................

Very practical approach to make sure there is no chance for any problems to arise It is always within the hunters control to be safe and responsible for their actions
