Re: Bear Hunting
Typical handling of a hunting accident story. Not a thought as to what kind of rifle fires when dropped.
There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

Re: Bear Hunting
I dont doubt that almost all these Accidental/Negligent discharges begin with having their finger on the trigger then tripping or falling !

Re: Bear Hunting
Not initially perhaps.
It's a sympathetic reflex. When people trip or fall, what do they do with their hands?
They grab and tighten their grip on whatever they are holding.
Keeping our finger off the trigger while the rest of our hand is grabbing or gripping is not a natural thing.

Re: Bear Hunting
Finger on trigger and reflex grasp would have no affect if the safety, which belongs ON, is on. (Safety includes external hammer riding its safety notch).

Re: Bear Hunting
2021 Harvest numbers at 2507 according to today*s PAGC website. That*s a lot lower than last few years and first time under 3,000 since 2007.
This is consistent with our anecdotal observations of a lot less bears around this summer and early fall. Wonder if the last few years of big harvests plus a tough winter took its toll.
