I went hunting with my family well before I was 14. When I was too young to carry a rifle I just went along to get out into nature. My dad taught me to respect firearms and I would have dreamed of messing around with them in an unsafe manner. btw, it is illegal to hunt after dark. So, this shooting was either poaching, murder, or random recklessness. Regardless, it had nothing what so ever to do with hunting.
Correction: would NEVER have dreamed of messing around with guns in an unsafe manner.
