BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Everyone needs to make sure they are 100% sure of there target this year another sad story. Boy videos his own death And before you say anything its not the video its a story; just read it and remember how this can happen. Everyone be very safe this year I would hope we never have to read about a RT member having this happen to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillbilly Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Re: This is terrible "and he didn't call for help after seeing Hammes because he feared he would get in trouble." And what did he think would happen if he didn't help the injured teen. What an idoit this guy is. Hope they put him in jail for more than 85 years.

buckee Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Re: This is terrible [ QUOTE ] He told police he thought he saw an animal when he fired the shots, and he didn't call for help after seeing Hammes because he feared he would get in trouble. [/ QUOTE ] He thought he saw an animal That's it right there. You either see the animal, or you don't see the animal, and you don't even think about shooting anything until you have 100% unidentified it. This needless tragedy could have been avoided, if only he wasn't so quick to shoot at something he didn't identify first. It's a tragedy on both sides here because it was avoidable. It's a real shame that the young shooter didn't get help, because he feared he would get in trouble. He might have saved a life, instead of taking one. Thanks Steve for the reminder to all on here to be safe this and every hunting season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beagleboy Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Re: This is terrible I can never understand people shooting when they don't know what they are shooting at. A deer looks like a deer period. A real shame that he didn't seek help. The shooter will have to bear that he killed someone the rest of his life. Hopefully behind bars. Accidents like that is what the anti's look at and react to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Re: This is terrible I wonder if there will ever be a day when you don't see these types of avoidable tragedies in the news. It never ceases to amaze me at how this particular scenario keeps showing up. One of the very basic and most important laws of gun safety. Prayers to the family.
