That wasn't as many f-bombs as I was expecting. I'd be on the phone with the warden. It's crazy that the shots got close enough for the camera to pick up the sound of them whizzin by.
Which adds to my list of "reasons why not to fish Calaveras and Braunig"

Re: caught in gun fire while kayaking
On Google Maps, there's Nimrod Gun and Rifle Club on the west side of the lake. However, there should be a berm there to catch "most" bullets, plus there's a road behind it. Be careful out there and don't hesitate to call the game warden. Someone else may not be as lucky.
On a more positive note, I wasn't aware that they stocked these freshwater lakes with redfish. I'll have to look further into that.

Re: caught in gun fire while kayaking
since you heard the bullets coming over your head, but didn't hear the shots
they had to be coming from the Nimrod Gun range
whoever was shooting was shooting over the berms on purpose
you still need to call the warden and the sheriff's departments and report it
it makes them aware when it happened, and where you were on the lake
if they get more reports they'll shut down the gun range

Re: caught in gun fire while kayaking
i agree with others it your duty to report seeing how you have video
Re: caught in gun fire while kayaking
if you think about it, that gun range should NOT still be open
if you had bullets zipping over your head, across the lake on the west shoreline
then those same bullets could hit vehicles going up & down I-37
remember that a simple .22LR bullet can travel 1-mile
it says so on the box

Re: caught in gun fire while kayaking
Since Braunig Lake is a SanAntonio city reservoir
I contacted Det. Michael Muniz with the SanAntonioPD
and emailed him the link to this thread
so it has been reported

those shots weren't random from the Nimrod Gun Club
you were too far south of the line of the range for the shots to be random
someone was intentionally shooting at/over you to scare you off

Damn. When they sound like that, they are danger close.
Re: caught in gun fire while kayaking
Actually, my childhood use of the word nimrod - idiot - is correct, but it also means hunter. I looked up the definition of nimrod after posting this.tastywavescoolbuzz wrote:This^ MericaYaklash wrote:Nimrod how appropriate...
Re: caught in gun fire while kayaking
Sounds like you might have gotten a little close to someone's cooking operation.

i was way on the other side of the lake closer where the gun range is at.. yes i paddled over there and have always heard shot being fired but never heard the rounds zip by like that.. i made a report but was told that even with the video not enough evidence to do anything..

Re: caught in gun fire while kayaking
I can't believe the officer told you that. You are not pressing charges just advising him of the incident. It is the officers duty to notify the range owner that there may be a problem.
