Not reporting it to the authorities is irresponsible too.

You had a major responsibility to call the damn cops. There could have been a kid or anything out on that river. Wtf man.

I'm a firearms enthusiast myself, but also a fisherman. Glad you guys are safe. I'd like to see the guy that was doing all the shooting locked up. It's idiots like that, that make the rest of us look bad.

I’m only 14 years of age whenever I’m at my grandmas squirrel or deer hunting by the road or in the woods I make sure there isn’t anybody near where I’m shooting. Especially walking the road back to my grandmas trailer I always check. And while I’m walking the road I always make sure I don’t have one in the chamber just for this reason.

That's crazy that law enforcement didn't get the guy.

Glad you guys came out of both instances without serious injury. Had a similar instance happen to me so I can relate. Can still hear the bullet zipping through the branches over my head and that was 40 years ago.

So the next time you're going to wait till your SHOT to call 911???

Either occurrence is unacceptable. Know what's behind your target at all times.

Wow..glad you guys are alright!

You guys have a serious problem with your game enforcement.

Not calling the police was stupid

Thanks for sharing. You guys showed some great composure.

Damn, glad everyone is okay. But hey, I just found your video's and I love them. Your doing a great job, keep it up.

The person that shot the gun at you should be disciplined. How else are people going to learn? Hope this never happens to you guys ever again, that's scary.

Great video guys. I'm glad you really hit these topics

Glad yous guys are ok. Hope you never have to go through something like this again.

I used to be a guide for upland birds and over a five year period I was unfortunately shot twice. I was very lucky to only have tiny tatoo marks and no serious Injuries. I always preach gun safety but you are correct no gun will discharge itself, actually Rem 700 were known to inadvertently go off without anyone squeezing the trigger. In all my years though everyone should always be aware of using proper back stops and when hunting be aware of the fact that one should never aim at an animal or bird before insuring that if they miss the round has a safe place to go. I have passed on game cresting hilltops because I didn't know what or who may be on the opposite side if I missed or the round passed through.. It only takes a second of carelessness to cause irreversible damage to an innocent person.. I know both of the incidents were very unnerving, I am so happy to hear that you were able to walk away unscathed. I am a little shocked that the earlier incident with the young hunter didn't bring a more harsh penalty especially if that was the second time. Good luck in your future endeavors and maybe ask Santa for some Kevlar gear to wear.

Should have called the police. There was no reason not to.

People say that it's their fault for not calling authorities but if someone doesn't shoot at u then there isn't a reason to

Sometimes, whooping someone's ass, does make a difference..

Holy crap that is crazy man !! my buddy almost got shot while kayak fishing. scary stuff man. ya'll be careful!

In a short attention span KZfaq world we need way more of these follow-up type videos. There are far too many videos about car accidents and shootings and all types of things that only include 5 Seconds of the action part of what happened don't even follow up to what happened to the victims or people that it happened to. Let alone a proper follow-up video like this. Excellent work I say

You do realize they were aiming at you...right?! It wasn’t just freak accidents 🤷🏻‍♂️

Great video! If you are a true outdoors man more than likely you are going to have a few close call stories. Unfortunately i have many! AK-47 fragment in the shin at the range, 38 frag in the calf (ricochet), 7 1/2 12 gauge peppered during quail hunting. The only thing i saw that you guys did wrong is not having your EDC on you while fishing! People are crazy! Stay safe!

Yup let him get away with it to do it to the next guy and the next until someone gets shot. When you let people like that go free you're asking for trouble later

This is why I'll never hunt public land again. Too many careless people. Plus a lot of attitudes and plain grumpy people with guns out there. It's all about the experience of the outdoors, and too many people go f'ng crazy at the sight of game. It's like they lose their minds.

Few inches to the left and i bet you would have called the cops, wow i still cant believe you wouldent call the cops after getting shot at🤔🤔🤔

WOW , what are the odds, twice in one year ! Glad ya'll were not seriously hurt. It could have been way worse. WOW . Owning a gun has responsibility's and those pulling the trigger in these two incidents did not act with common sense. Especially the guy on the lake not showing his face and apologizing and admitting his mistake. Good gun safety video as a reminder to those folks. Thanks for sharing.

So scary guys, happy your all okay.

Wow just got back from a musky grouse trip was waiting for this vid.. crazy man... so many dumb hunters .. i just started and im safe as possible thanks for posting as always.. now for some fall skis!!! ;)

I was on the Black River in New York and me, my dad, and my brother. We were fishing a point and hear a few shots ringing out and didn't think much of it. Then there was a bullet that whizzed by so we all ducked on the boat and started yelling out. Then they shot again and it hit the water about 5 feet from the boat so we dipped out of there. Here the idiots were shooting illegally using the river as their backstop.

Are you serious? You let someone shoot inches from you and you do absolutely nothing? Obviously somebody said something to you about reporting it. I take it that's why you're telling us to be responsible handling a firearm. That does squat, zero, nada to the guy who could have killed you. Ever hear of 'Silence is half consent'? You let someone shoot at you and you did nothing about it. Nothing. You always report something like that to authorities! It's one of the worse situation that can happen in gun use. This is the kind of thing that gives people reasons to over regulate us. It doesn't matter what happens after you contact the authorities. That's out of your hands. He's found, he's not found, he's convicted, he's never found. There are things that official reports do over time. If it happens again, a pattern is established. They might be able to tie repeat events to the same guy, there's all kinds of things connected with filed reports. If it was malicious, the guy was drunk, he didn't mean to do it; that's all irrelevant. You might as well tell the shooter, "Way to go guy, you almost killed me, nice shooting!" Did you catch those other comments telling you it was irresponsible not to report something like that? Listen to them. Anything you say after failing to report this is rationalizing. It's lame. The shooter has learned nothing now. The next time he skips a bullet across the lake and takes a kid out on a boat sitting on that sand bar behind you, you gonna feel like you did all you could do to keep it from happening? Do you think the proper response from someone almost killing you is, "It didn't happen. It hit a tree!" Does that sound like a responsible gun owner. Every hunter I know would have turned white, apologized to the max, and tried to find out if everybody was ok. Look, it takes learning how to use a camera, filming the whole video, editing it, thinking what to say. It's work. I get that. I just wish you put a tenth of that energy in doing everything you could do to identify who is shooting into a lake with several boats and people on it. I'm glad you weren't hit.

Once I went out to the desert to sight in my rifle since it was the only place that was 200+ m out. I put myself in a bit of a valley area with a raised hill, so I knew where I was shooting and a hopeful lack of wind. 45 minutes go by and a few cars pass, then I heard a bunch of fast gunshots. Someone decided they'd Rambo their AR in the desert, shooting at nothing and the bullets were landing all around me. I could hear the bullets land into the mud and dirt around me before the report. Closest one came to me was 3 feet from my foot. I ran to my truck, packed in my stuff and headed out asap. People don't think.

I'm a lifelong gun owner. Its a cardinal rule to always know your target and whats behind it. Always know your backstop. It was a almost deadly lack of guve a shit by the shooter!

Should’ve called 911 immediately and took cover. The perpetrators learned nothing and there’s a good chance they were aiming at you intentionally to discourage you fishing near that shoreline. KZfaq is full of angry dock owner videos.

Great video

This is a good youtuber! A bad youtuber (instead of linking the video in the description) would just put the whole video in for more video length. Gotta hit that 10 minute mark.

Had my truck shot.Lucky was thru the bed and fuel tank but i was driving past a park in a small city.Also never found the trigger puller.Had 2 bullet holes on my property last year.One was july 4th (bullet came down from above into wood stack feet from the house).Second one hit a tree not much further than 10ft from the backdoor.On a downwards angle also.Bullets have to come down and i hate people who shoot into the air.City closest to me had one last new years come down thru a new ford at the ford dealership.I wonder how many bullets are whizzing around we dont hear or see.I bet alot.Im pro second amendment but geez be respondsible.Thanks for sharing footage and story.

My dad and I got shot at while fishing public waters on the Mississippi, by Lock and Dame #6, near Trempaleau, WI. We were on our boat, fishing near some docks in the backwaters. As we were casting up by the docks (not fishing on the docks), one of the dock owners comes out of his house with a semi-automatic weapon, fired 7-8 shots into the water about 20 ft. from our boat, and went back inside. We got the hell out of dodge and called the police. The county sheriff was already on the water looking for a drowning victim, so there were 3 boats and 6 sheriffs at the nearest boat landing in minutes. They took our statements, got the description of the guy and the gun and the house he owned, and sent us on our way. Minutes later, we heard sirens coming from all directions. After all was said and done, we heard after the fact what had happened. The sheriffs called in backup. They got the MN and WI Fish and Game, Winona, Trempaleau, and Houston Co. Sherrifs Departments, MN and WI State Patrols, and a SWAT Team. They closed down the local trailer park, they closed down the interstate, the railroad tracks, the lock and dam, and the public boat launch on the other side of the river. We found out later that the kid's old man took the fall for him. They took the gun in question, plus a couple others, and they gave him a fine for unsafe discharge of a firearm or some bullshit. His excuse? He was shooting at a stick in the water and didn't see our boat. Haven't been back to fish there again.

Glad you weren't seriously injured ...my husband and I ride motorcycles with a cpl and they were traveling up main highway and he got shot in the shin at 70mph. police actually accused his wife of shooting from her bike while she was riding.

I deeply agree with knowing your target beyond. Yesterday was shotgun season and a buddy of mine was pushing. Dumbass ass shot a buck missed and took his arm. Not knowing he was and blindly shooting.

Fudge! That's why I stay out of the woods on public during gun season. Damn glad you're ok. 😡😡

Glad he was ok!! But damn that’s just crazy!

The background music tells me there's more to these stories..lol

Thank God ya'll were ok. I agree with others, you should still report them. It SHOULD be dealt with! People need to be careful!

Damn! Where do you guys live?

It sounded like people were laughing at you when you were yelling

Hope you come back with other new videos.

Glad you're okay and all but who was this "big guy" who was watching over you? Just wondering.

Dumb that you didn't call the cops after you got away from the scene. Amazing..

What state do you live in? They didn’t even pay for your windshield?

My dad got shot at once in a tournament, then a couple of weeks later in the same tournament another one of the people fishing and they got shot at , and when the cops came they found 26 9mm shells at the sight of where the shots came from

you were lucky to not have been hit. even a .22 will easily kill a person. you never know if a shooter in that situation is unaware of your presence or if they are intentionally targeting you. glad ya'll are safe. could have been much worse. but i bet it was friggen scary.

Reckless discharge of a firearm. I would of been on the phone to 911 immediately

thats crazy. thats why i always carry when i go near the water, especially here in florida. they would have gotten something back in return

I can't believe that there was no punishment handed down. That's just crazy! I have had a close call while in the bush too. Some Dumb ass was shooting off season in the woods and a bullet hit a tree about 20 yards from me while shooting an intro. I yelled HEY he yelled sorry in French and disappeared.

Damn it, you guys are lucky and unlucky depending on how you look at it. Glad you’re ok.

you guys answered all I needed to hear when you said you didn't report it. I'm a firearms owner, carrier, as well as instructor and I firmly believe you HAVE TO call these incidents in to not only DWF(DNR) but also the local cops or sheriff. Who's to say some kids aren't fishing out off that same area one day and they aren't as lucky as you were and one of them takes a bullet. Being a safe owner/operator is one thing, but you also have to be a responsible human and report unsafe situations. All that being said, I'm glad to see that no one was seriously injured from these two incidents. Cheers!

Many people are unaware of the real dangers involved with shooting/ hunting sports. Some don't care. That's unfortunate for us who love our sport. I've had bullets hitting trees above me. You talked about ricochets too and the fact it was a .22. out hunting gophers 25 years ago my brother in law shot a gopher, hit a rock behind it and the bullet pulled 90 degrees and hit the bed of his truck. Take care out there. Stay safe.

Ridiculous to post this video if you didn't do anything on your end.

All these people saying you should have called the cops... Yet I go report my car accident a hit and run, in discussion the cop says "you're not obligated to report a murder".

Mouth breathers with guns are a problem in my area as well. Especially during hunting season. I remember when people used to actually take the time to aim...... Must be something in the water......

I fish a ton, its happened to me three times.

To prevent this from happening to others should back out and call it in. That idiot shouldnt be able to access a firearm after does that

What the hell is going on around there? Where is this because I'm not going hunting or fishing there? God bless you guy's, I'm glad you just have the holes the Lord gave ya .

I know this is a long time since this posted but I just saw it. I had a friend with 2 other friends riding together to another friends funeral. They were traveling through a country neighborhood when the driver heard a noise of something hitting the glass of the back window. When they looked back the friend in the back seat had been hit by a stray bullet. It was just below his skull. He died a few days later. There never was any info of the shooter. No one around the neighborhood came forward saying they had been shooting that day!! Had the shooter not been shooting towards the road our friend might still be alive!!!

Where the heck are you guys at? Wisconsin?

I had a AR ROUND co.e by me and my buddies this year and there is no way they did not see us.. felt like I was being targeted.. on private property too

I was in a tree stand had a guy shooting raining shot though the leaves of the tree I was in not once but twice then I was in northern Michigan deer hunting had a bullet buzzing like a bee right past me that is a very scary feeling thank the Lord no body got hurt thank you Jesus for looking out for us hunting and fishing men

wow I guess a pickup truck looks like a deer to some people, glad you are OK we got sprayed by a buck shot one fishing landed about 20 yard away and scared the cap out of us and the shooter who was hunting ducks when he heard us yell.

Looks like you're in northern Wisconsin

So the next time I go fishing with y'all I'm wearing full out bullet proof riot gear. Lol just crazy u guys. Wow. Glad ur all okay tho. Could've been so much worse. Making me second guess fishing my river spot this gun season...

Know your target beyond

Was it the group of people with the girl that shot ? Did anyone admit to shooting , and why they took the shot ?

Should have pressed charges this got me mad glad your ok

You guys took that way too generously.I promise I would have went to the bank.

You have to know what beyond the target. Hunting, practicing, anytime.

I have seen a few videos where fisherman getting shot at, it's no accident they want you off the lake!!

Least they accept, even in hindsight, that the incident should have been reported.

Yes gun safety is important. My used to be friend was messing around with his 9mm and it went off and the bullet hit me in my face . People shouldn't treat them like toys

They or he shouldn't have been shooting at a tree in the first place.... bullets can ricochet off trees... seen it happen while someone was shooting at a target nailed on a tree with a .40 cal pistol.... scary

But why were you shot at? Cant tell me there was a deer just standing on the trail as you drove by and it didnt run and then someone in the woods fires a round at it while u drive by.or just freak flying round

Ya really shoulda called that in.

Bet it was the same girl that was laughing in the 1st video

By not reporting it the shooter wont care because there were no consequences for their actions and next time someone dies or is crippled for life.

2 bullets striking your vehicles in a year... By my math that’s roughly 2 more than you should experience in a lifetime. Never mind a bullet fragment hitting you in the head. Geez.... I hope that if you didn’t have a trauma kit with you and some ‘stop the bleed’ type training under your belts then that you do now. All the best & be safe gentlemen.

Makes you wonder who the shooters relatives and or friends are to not get fined or jail time for that irresponsible shot on your truck

You should have to report it!...

What state was this at?

Must have been using sub sonic rounds. Heard they gunshot before the bullet hits

So wait was it the girl that shot the truck, or did some other idiots shoot towards the Girl and hit your truck?

Somebody tell KZfaq to stop subtitles. Its wrong and very confusing

That's insane that no fines were issued! No enforcement action taken! What was the reasoning from the group that shot at the truck? Did they at least say sorry? I can't even count the number of times I have been "scoped" during firearm season on public land in Michigan. I mean, these idiots are using their scope...attached to a firearm...to "see what I am doing". Public service announcement: Your scope is not binoculars...don't do it!

Id start wearing a ballistic suit everywhere by now lol

Look, this is real friggin simple - "Know your target and what's behind it ".... There is no possible way to "dumb that down" any more than it is.. From the looks of it, not even a full inch more, and this could have been fatal....

Least it was not slug season

Y'all definitely should have called the authorities. Any good warden in the area would have been able to find them. Either way, I'm glad y all are ok.

I got shot in the shoulder riding my dirt bike with a 22 called cops obviously and they couldn’t find the shooter bullet only went in about 1/4 in. A bit worse then a flesh wound but damn it stung. Then I got shot at by a old guy who thought he owned the water when I was bass fishing he hit my duck boat twice with a 22mag . He was arrested and charged but I don’t remember exactly what they charged him with but it wasn’t attempted murder . Then I got peppered open day of pheasant season while i was bow hunting on public land after I had made myself visible to the guys pushing the field . That incident led to me almost going to jail because I got down and pushed the shooter and threw his shot gun into a puddle . I was beyond pissed lucky for me I had a understanding game warden and the shooter was also understanding of why I was so angry and didn’t want me to have any problems. I’m a lead magnet so i really don’t go on public ground anymore during hunting season. To many people that don’t know what they are doing . I’m actually surprised that there isn’t a ton more accidental shootings then there are during hunting season .

I always carry a gun in my boat. That guy shooting is the type of ahole that makes us good guys look bad. Your very lucky.

Based on that sweater, are you sure it wasn’t a Bears fan?😉
