Phillip,
I never “play God” but I do read what He wrote.

David for literacy and caution

This is so sad. I know all too well what can happen when a hunting trip can go bad with the accidental shooting and death of one of my brothers back in 1978.

This is a horrible reminder to all to be careful out there.

My prayers go out to all who are affected by this tragedy.

It was not an accident.. He knew better or should have known better. A drunk driver doesn’t intend on killing anyone, but sometimes it happens. At the very least, he was negligent.

Yes, David Huie Green, it was an accident, you aren’t implying that he intentionally shot the other hunter are you?
Philip for less playing God on EVERY news article on this site.

Is it really an accident when you just shoot to kill whatever is behind that bush?

Why should everyone who is out side have to wear an orange vest? Just because a bush moves does not mean it is cover for a deer or what ever the person wants to kill. See the target– know what you are shooting–get your head out of your backside. If you can’t see what it is —- don’t shoot.

Shouldn’t he have at least been checkin for a rack? I don’t understand how someone can shoot blind without knowing their target and what’s behind it..

This should have NEVER HAPPENED !! One of the Ten Commandments of hunting is to KNOW WHAT YOUR SHOOTING AT !!! I think something should be done to the young man that pulled the trigger !! Accident or not … He should have known better !!!

I think the law should be changed to say:

If you shoot someone while hunting because you fired at movement the person should lose the right to a hunting license for LIFE.

It’s a horrible intelligence test but it shows the shooter should never have a firearm again.

My family and I have been hunting for decades
First rule of shooting is KNOW WHAT IT IS YOU ARE SHOOTING AT.
Second is IF YOU DON’T KNOW DON’T SHOOT.

Far to many people get killed by careless hunters that sometimes are their friends or family.
