(I'm talking at the movement / shadow shooters).

Recent incidents would beg to differ mate. Most of the shooters in recent "accidental" hunter shootings have been reported as being "experienced hunters".

What's an experienced hunter though? Someone than goes out several times a week/month, or 4-5 times a year, one that's done a roar trip every year for 15 years?

I've hunted with a large number of newbies, in fact got many their first animal, in which I get great satisfaction from, and most if not all of them would have better hunting ethics, would be more careful with firearms, and would be more willing to listen and change their attitudes than some of the so-called "regular" hunters I see on forums and Facebook and in person.
