I'll be down at Lake Powell, otherwise I'd be there.
Bobwest - "out of harm's way"?!? Sad that's how you feel. As a Hunter Ed. Instructor I have access to the hunting accident data and know that the rate of accidental injury for ALL hunting in Utah is down around 5-7/125,000+ hunters. Pretty good odds in my book (though of course the goal is 0!). Had a similar experience/conversation at Tuscany last night.
I really need to come out. I brought a new "friend" home today.
A Century(Ouch!!) Centurion 58 FAL. It is a little rough(of course, its from our friends at Century), but it does have an Imbel receiver. Sooooo, I need to get out and shoot it!
My apologies Doug,
you're correct about hunting being a lot safer these days than when 250,000 Utahns took to the hills years ago when I first started hunting.
