I agree, no boaters were out, but they couldn't tell if anyone was hiking the area directly across from them.
The river at that area is 20-30feet across and the hiking path is a VERY short distance from that.
So besides the potential danger from a person and/or dog getting pelted with buckshot, there's also the pollution aspect.
They were shooting for at least a half hour, and had to be peppering the other shore and woods with a considerable amount of residue.
I'm not complaining about them shooting if it is legal, but just concerned about what they are leaving behind when they have finished.
