This isn't that big of news. Cheney's friend apparently didn't tell him he was standing right behind him and you are always suppose to tell the person you are hunting with where you are at when next to them.
This was an accident, the guy will be fine. His wife was right there when it happend and she has said it wasn't that bad.
The media is making more out of this than there is.
It is a terrible accident, but I think everything is fine. This guy sounds like he isn't going to turn on Cheney or anything like that. It was 2 buddies out hunting and there was a small accident. These types of things happen all the time unfortunately.
My parents have a small ranch in East Texas and my brother in law's, and my hubby go hunting a lot. They know the rules before they go out, but I can just see something happen to them like this. You gotta be careful.
Thankfully all is well with this situation. I think of the guy would have been severely injured or killed it would be a bigger story than it is!

You're also supposed to check around you before you shoot. -:)
If you're going to have a hunting accident, though, Cheney, with his ticky heart, is definitely the boyo to be with ....
According to the owner of the ranch, not only did he have a "medical team" right there with him, who attended to the guy, but Cheney always has an ambulance on call, so they called his ambulance & were able to get him to the hospital IMMEDIATELY.
