Willers was returning to a cabin on the property and noticed a stranger in the stand. He radioed those in the cabin on a walkie-talkie and asked if anyone had given someone permission to be in the stand; they told him they hadn't. . . . The injured man was able to radio those in the shack and tell them he had been shot. . . . Willers' daughter and Laski climbed aboard all-terrain vehicles and drove to the spot; neither brought a weapon.

You've just gotten a series of messages from a hunting companion to the effect that 1) There's an unautorized stranger in your deerstand, and then 2) Your companion has been shot. You take off for the gunfight without a gun.

I just don't get it.

Perhaps the people in his party thought he had been shot accidentally.

You take off for the gunfight without a gun.

I was wondering how one guy could take on eight armed, experienced hunters, and score hits on each, without getting a scratch on himself. Guess the only lesson from this is the one you raise...
