Sounds like a gun or something around Bonifay Area/Fernandina Area this morning. Anyone know what it is?

I heard it too. I counted 5 bangs that sounded like shots. But I have no idea what caused them.

It woke up the cat. Checked the house and looked outside for workmen or something. I have heard duck hunting shots before, but that wasn't the sound.

I believe you. Anyone named Chi-town has to be the expert on the sounds of shooting!

The only way they would hit a duck is if they were aiming at something else.

Well, I am shocked hunting of any kind is allowed this close to residential area. (If that is what this is.)Even shot gun pellets travel far if fired skyward. Plus I did not sign up for an outdoor shooting range so close at 7:00 AM. Plus some shots sounded like rifle shots.

Someone maybe closer to the action than I am may need to see if The Villages discloses to buyers of gun shots in the morning.

Heard same thing at sand hill early this morning. Not enough or consistent to be a nail gun. Had to be gun shot.

Sounds like hunting. We hear it a few times a year, usually on the weekends. Listen for it again tomorrow.
