I know little about guns and even less about hunting, but do people
use shotguns to hunt deer with? Don't you need to be close to
your target when using a shotgun? Also, isn't it illegal to discharge
a firearm across a road?
 
The shooter is at least criminally negligent, and more likely is
gun toting, crotch scratching, whiskey swilling in-bred hill
billy who hangs out in the woods looking for 'runner-boys' with
pretty mouths.
  
Yeee-Haaaa
