No worries, you still get points for your effort :) (s/Francaise/français/) This also surprised me, hence the "hard to anticipate" bit in the linked post. I guess it stems from multiple factors: high voltage lines being very long, high above ground, and crossing remote areas that might be hunting grounds. Plus, some prey might actually rest on the wires or pylons. I should have written "lead shot" instead of "bullets", as that's a better translation. Such ammunition is commonly used for shooting birds, that can be located in front of or behind the lines. Fiber twisted around the cable also increases its cross-section. It's actually quite likely that they often hit other things, but not human ones (stats say ~140 hunt accidents per year on average there, ~15 deadly, ~20 non-hunters). The cross section of high voltage lines present during hunts on hunting grounds is likely bigger than the human one. Plus, hunters tend not to fire at people or in their general direction, while they don't care about HV lines.
