Well, the noise was absolutely, 100% shotguns being fired at Lake Deaton. And they were automatic, not pumps. And there were at least 100 shots fired in all from 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM. I guess all ducks and waterfowl left the lake after that. I guess any fishermen had to watch out for flying pellets with that many shots. There had to be a ton of hunters or just a few that were really bad shots. I am still shocked hunting is allowed within feet of The Villages. (Not opposed to hunting, just not within sight of 100's of houses.)
