Road Signs and WMA Signs

[John Singer]

A couple of days ago, a friend and I ran his dog on a WMA. As we pulled into a recently mowed parking area, we noted that the metal signs marking the location had been shot several times.

I have never looked at a road sign or WMA sign and thought: "That is a target and I need to shoot it."

What is the attraction of shooting these signs?

This is the sort of behavior that makes other hunters look bad. Either that or they are drunk, which is a terrible idea when firearms are involved.

I have never been that drunk.

If anyone hunting with me ever shot road signs, it would be my last hunt with them.

All it takes is one idiot, to ruin a hunting spot. I've seen it happen, and it happened on a ranch that I used to hunt on, some idiot was littering out there, and started a fire. That guy will not let any hunters on again ever.

Just because someone’s driving around in rural areas, shooting signs, doesn’t mean they’re hunters…hope not, anyway.

People have been shooting signs forever, I think it started with the Egyptians

That's true. Could have been teenagers.

Alcohol and teenagers, what could go wrong?
