No round in the chamber until you are in the blind! I bet he follows that rule from now on.

Just last week up here in Oregon a hunter (Jr high Science teacher) shot another hunter out in the woods and left him for dead.

He is in jail, turned himself in had he called in the accident/incident at the time he would not be in jail.

The Sheriffs Dept spokesperson said had they been called and possibly saved the guy it would of just been written up as a hunting accident.

The teacher called in to the dept once it hit the news that he had been hunting in the area....perhaps he did not realize he shot the guy.

Guess we will know more as the court date comes up.

That’s what I was thinking. Family (including extended) rule since I first started shooting: Never put a gun down unless you have put the safety on and have unloaded it.

Growing up we would have huge family shooting days on my grandparents’ farm a few times a year. About 40 of us would spend several hours shooting skeet and distanced rifle and pistol targets. We had the opportunity to shoot lots of different guns and were taught proper gun handling. We’ve never had an accident, even with lot of teenagers shooting.
