Nutty. Glad the guys I always hunted with strategized a lot and made sure no one ever shot on certain areas, past certain trees - always have some constraints on drives.
Sometimes you have to reiterate, " under no circumstances does anyone shoot past 'this' spot!"
I think every hunter education course specifically addresses shooting a deer on a hilltop cause you never know what is behind it.
Glad he is ok.
