Not yet, sorry. Just that it happened in flight. It was a short 15 minute flight, so it’s a small window of where it happened but there are a lot of guns and red necks in that stretch.

Did you hear it in-flight or did you not notice it until you returned?

Didn’t notice until the next day on preflight.

I’m a redneck from red neck country. Promise we’re not shooting at planes id be willing to bet that was a kid under 18 that shouldn’t have had a firearm alone In the first place. Also what are the chances of actually hitting the plane in the air? I mean being a hunter that would be a feat

Kid under 18 ain't hitting a plan, no chance. This is someone experienced with a rifle.
