    I live in Great Falls MT and we here stories about this growing up. There’s actually enough mineshafts under Butte that it can circle the earth. The whole town is held up by water flooding the shafts. A lot of people have been hospitalized from drinking the water. My sixth grade teacher was born in butte and said he saw it dissolve a barn. It was being carried by a truck.

The pit is about 1.3 miles across ( and about double that deep without from top to bottom not jsut the water) with gorgeous (and deadly) blue and green water. You can hear the blips going off all day. If you weren’t convinced already to visit it’s also full of history and historical buildings. I’d suggest visiting butte with my whole heart

      I give this part of me for you
      Sand rains down and here I sit
      Holding rare flowers in a tomb, in bloom
      Down in a hole
      And I don't know if I can be saved
      See my heart, I decorate it like a grave
      You don't understand who they thought
      I was supposed to be
      Look at me now a man
      Who won't let himself be
      Down in a hole, feelin' so small
      Down in a hole, losin' my soul
      I'd like to fly
      But my wings have been so denied
      Down in a hole
      And they've put all the stones in their place
      I've eaten the sun so my tongue
      Has been burned of the taste
      I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth
      I will speak no more of my feelings beneath
      Down in a hole, feelin' so small
      Down in a hole, losin' my soul
      I'd like to fly
      But my wings have been so denied
      Bury me softly in this womb (oh I wanna be inside of you)
      I give this part of me for you (oh I wanna be inside of you)
      Sand rains down and here I sit (oh I wanna be inside of you)
      Holding rare flowers in a tomb (oh I wanna be inside)
      Down in a hole, feelin' so small
      Down in a hole, losin' my soul
      Down in a hole, feelin' so small
      Down in a hole, out of control

    I live an hours drive from Butte, and I've toured the pits and the mines beneath the city before. When you get close enough, you can smell the heavy metals in the air, but it's a pretty cool experience.

    Honestly, knowing that all types of wildlife get accustomed to loud noises over time, this man is probably an incredible marksmen because animals that are used to the bang of a gunshot normally won’t flee unless the round is close. So he is probably threading his shots between multiple birds, at range, regularly without hitting them

      In Tom Scott's video, he explained that this is exactly the case. "We find it's not the sound that scares the birds off, so much as the air from the bullet." So yeah, like that's definitely worth bragging about with gun friends.

    I hope that they played the song freebird whenever they started shooting the bird cause that song definitely fits the situation
