Stupid to fire at anything that you haven’t positively identified. I pray that his brother heals quickly, experiences a full recovery, and beats his ass.

The wounded guy would have been better off had he not been field-dressed.

It also depends on whether it is bow season or firearm season in some states.

That doesn't stop many morons from shooting at movement rather than identifying their target.

When I started deer hunting at the age of 14 (the legal age for deer hunting in Michigan) my Dad gave me a pair of binoculars and told me to use them and never even raise my rifle until I knew for certain the thing I was looking at was a deer.

Reminds me of that “Family Guy” cutaway where Dick Cheney shoots Peter repeatedly and then says “Sorry I thought you were a deer.”

Could have been a democrat deer.

Perhaps the brother identified as one.

Johnny and Cletus are out in the woods hunting when Cletus falls to the ground. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are rolled back in his head.

Johnny whips out his cell phone and calls 911. Panic-stricken, he says to the operator, “I think Cletus is dead! What should I do?”

The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.”

There is a silence, then a shot rings out.

Johnny comes back on the line. He says, “OK, now what?”

Do deer in Michigan wear blaze orange vests & hats?

Most States require hunters to do so...
