Gunshots in the night

I don't know anything about hunting seasons around here in Talkeetna (or if it's always hunting season) but the gunshots have been echoing through town the last few nights. It wouldn't be too bad, except it's usually at one or two o'clock in the morning, and these guys must be pretty bad shots, because it's not like just one or two shots, it goes on for a little while.

(I guess my assumption is that they're not drunks with rifles shooting at signs.)
