After twenty years in Mississippi - just south of Memphis - I'll bet it was a Russian boar/pig. My landlord used to shoot them whenever he saw them. I lived in a rural area, but these things are bold and have nearly killed off the AR razorbacks.
And don't feel bad about firing into the woods, it was only a bb gun and if it was a person he should have identified himself rather than scare the wee-wee out of you and your sis.edit on 10-2-2013 by Ittabena because: (no reason given)
Right on.
I kind of wish I could have hunted it, if it was a boar. I'm probrably not good enough to handle a boar... but I'm trying to get the stomach for hunting. Prepping for a more "independent" lifestyle, ya know.

BB gun or not, you don't see a problem with this?
Not entirely blindly. I was aiming towards where the noise had come from. It wasn't toward houses or anything.
I wouldn't shoot any kind of gun if I thought I might hit a person by accident.
Besides, I've been shot with that exact bb gun at point blank range a few times. Doesn't do much. It makes a lot of noise when it hits branches, though. I thought those crackling noises might scare the thing off, or at least throw it off the scent.

seriously???
Oh for the love of God!!
Glad it was only a bb gun and not an actual gun in the hands of such an immature child
Hopefully you'll never be in position to have an actual gun in your hands

This is what concerns me. One day, some fool in a Ghille suit, trying to generate a cheap scare, will wind up with a small, lead pill inserted into their forhead after being mistaken for a real, dangerous creature. Either that or an overly enthusiastic hunter whacks them thinking they've just bagged the worlds first Bigfoot...
I'm still spinning over the fact someone fires (even a BB gun), blindly at noises. Still, with all the gun controversy going on at the moment, it would provide fuel for the "ban them" brigade if someone was injured here. Sigh.
If she had a double barrel shotgun she probably would of shot that too. People do stupid irrational things when they're frightened.

I hear excuses. I see callous handling of a weapon.
Whether it's a BB gun or an AR15 assault rifle, it makes no difference. The anti gun lobby would happily use your story as ammo for their cause.

Good but get a backup handgun in atleast 10mm or 44 mag against two or four legged threats, but remember a photo is still best proof so carry a good cellphone with camera. Take care and see you around forum.

I think you're continuing to troll.
You're really starting to piss me off, dude.
I guess that's okay, though... over the internet, I can't do anything about it. Otherwise, you'd keep your mouth shut and keep your ignorance to yourself.
Think I'm lying? Well prove it.
You can't. Because I'm not.
