[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 2957138, member: 24583"] Quite a few years back I was at a boat ramp on Ft. Gibson lake standing just in front of my boat right at the waters edge. Calm day, noticed little splash no more than 12 inches from my foot that was at the waters edge. Easy to see, different than the almost white gravel at that location. Reached down and it was a .45 slug. I had not heard a shot. Most likely the speed might not have penetrated my skin, but sure could have done some eye damage. Rare there is a problem, but I feel my bullets are my responsibility at least until they stop moving wherever I shoot them. I pick up most of my brass out in the field where several of us shoot also. I am sure I miss some, do not scrounge for all of them, but with just a quick once over I easily pick up more than I leave behind every time I shoot. I have to drive the edge of some Official Wildlife Hunting areas to get in and out of my house. I always wonder what might come out of the woods. Animals or bullets? Fortunately the hunters park along the same roadway and might be conscious they might not want to be shooting toward their own vehicle. The responsibility levels of different people vary. [/QUOTE]
