If the eight were unarmed, how the heck were they "hunting"?

Get a bunch of guys staggering around in a beer buzz vs. one sober guy scared
for his life. Evens the odds a bit. Then add the factor of some of your buddies
getting killed when the intended victim of a cruel "joke" takes the shot
seriously and begins firing back. If you aren't prepared to see people going
down on both sides of you and you panic as a result, the odds are evened a bit
more.

All those missing weapons are likely squirreled away in the bushes someplace.
How many people go hunting without a gun? Never heard of anybody doing that,
except the stereotypical cheating husband. :-)

I've never heard of eight hunters going into the woods without at
least eight rifles. Usually there'd be a few pistols in the mix too.
At least this was the way we did it when I lived in Minnesota.

Maybe efficiency has outsourced the shooters. Now only one shooter is
used, and the other seven people carry all the dead deer.
