The incident occurred after the men went looking for a deer that one brother had shot earlier with a muzzle-loading rifle, reported the Ionia County Sheriff's Office on its Facebook page.
The shooter, a 29-year-old man from Saranac, told authorities that he believed he saw the deer moving and fired, but after firing realized he had struck his 28-year-old brother. He called 911 immediately for help and the two siblings walked out of the dense corn field where they were hunting and were met by first responders, reported ABC Grand Rapids affiliate, WZZM13.

I had to look that up.
For just an instant I did wonder if it was supernatural but not really. It was some kind of illusion but one I can’t explain.

[[[I thought you were supposed to wear red or orange, out hunting...]]]
While laudable, this also conditions hunters to shoot at anything else not wearing it. There is no excuse for not positively identifying your target. If you can’t, get closer.

That is one of my favorite things - even beats the guy who witnessed an accident and old ladies beating up on the guy who hit them.
(I think Donna did turn out to be a hoax, though...probably the old ladies were, too.)

I pray that his brother heals quickly, experiences a full recovery, and beats his ass. Hard to argue with that sentiment!

Back in the day when I grew up, early 60’s in western Montana. If you were smart you never went out for around 2 weeks whan hunting season opened. You could sit in your back yard and listen to the gunfire. Sometimes sounded like Vietnam. Buck fever was running hot and heavy. People shot at noise,movement etc.
Classic case was a hunter on horseback with a rifle in a scabbard. Some other hunter heard the horse and figured it was an Elk. Took his shot at the noise. Pierced the horseman's leg, broke his rifle and killed the horse which fell pinning the rider. The eager shooter came running out to tag his “Elk”. Oops.

Yes, ‘Donna’ represents thinking that is typical of many people today.
I think they’re both ‘fakes’ - but very fun ones.
I just wish I had the talent to pull off something like that without giving the whole thing away.
(I can’t even tell a joke without flubbing the punch line, or forgetting the most important part.)
