If only his name was Stallworth.

Swan Lake, New York, is located just south of the Catskills.

This story gives me ice water in the pit of my stomach. How shall I put this delicately? The results of a 300 Win Mag hitting a baby would be the stuff of nightmares, really really bad nightmares.

[Trailerpark Badass]

What do you need 300 win mag for in the catskills?

I wonder how many shots he shoots for "practice" each year?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Shouldn’t the word “hunter” be in quotes. There got to be a term for morons like this.

I don’t know about the jurisdiction where this incident happened, but in these parts (Illinois) you can’t shoot within 300 yards of a building.

[Lady Jag]

OMG!! What are the odds of that happening?

[blackminorca]

This was a tragic accident but I am wondering if this trailer was put into the cornfield legally - - did the hunter know that the trailer was there?

[Royal Wulff]

Know your backdrop. Guilty.

[smokingfrog]

This guy is an idiot. He deserves a lot worse.

At least he had the decency to man-up an plead guilty.
Maybe that's the reason he got a lighter sentence.
