Jibber, shotgun pellets, especially from the 30 yards away, is just about enough to break the skin. There is a GINORMOUS difference between that and getting shot with a shotgun that has actual shotgun ammunition.
And to big3, it wasn't the difference between seeing a quail and a big bright old guy in an orange jumpsuit. He was following the quail (tracing him) and when he shot it happened that the other man was in his line of fire since he was out picking up his quail.
Poor hunting tactics? Yes, they should have all gone to get it together, but old people are lazy. But national emergency? Hells no.
