If the 8 were armed they would have executed him and not the other way
around.

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. :-)
