maybe she wasn't SHOT......but was she HOT?I still say this twit got hit with a couple pellets fired at a pheasant and the media is making a big deal about it "cuz gunz".
Even if it isn't (I don't know and can't tell from the story), I'm sticking with my story. It sounds better for us, makes people not as scared, and if I'm wrong - eff it, the left is wrong about us so much it's time to play by their rules - "she wasn't SHOT, she was hit with a pellet from 1/4 mile away, freaked out and ran her bike into a tree, nitwit".

And I agree with you on the bird shot scenario. I have been "pinged" by birdshot while pheasant hunting and while its a bit disheartening.......it was not the end of the world. When a bird hunter is 100 plus yards away he can't see you on the other end of the field......and pellets do rain down....its rare but it happens. I wish we knew the full story.
I hear you. Setting up next to a well used trail is just plain dumb.After an incident with hunters up at Goat Hill in Uxbridge I gave up mountain biking anywhere near hunting season. I have no problem with hunting and the stealth it takes to get one, but why would you set up close to a very popular and busy mountain bike section of forest?

Stupid, is the a**h*** that shot her. There is NO excuse for mistaking a human for a deer.Was she wearing Orange? It is hunting season.. Hunter was a moron but the Biker was stupid....Stupid can sometimes hurt.

I don't care if you are wearing a buckskin suit and antlers, no excuses.
If hunters like the one in this story made sure they were shooting at a deer this shit wouldn't happen and we can all enjoy public land together. The chances of a hunter shooting at a deer and a pass through hitting a hiker or biker are so ulikely it's almost negated. Think about it......if I'm seeing a Deer in the woods in front of me at 50 to even 100 yards.....and a hiker or biker come down the trail behind him that deer is gonna bolt off anyway and your not going to get a shot off......or....the deer wouldn't have been there in the first place if someone was coming down a trail that close by.There's no excuse for this. A hunter have to be sure what they are aiming. Also, i think i should be disallowed activities like biking on a hunting area
