It is still the responsibility of the shooter to make sure no one is downfield. And from what I have read, the entire hunting party was acting in a disorganized manner. I would have expected better from an experience hunter like Cheney.

But what are ya gonna do? Accidents happen.
I'd not thought of that. You're right, if you're hunting in a disorganized manner, you're asking for this type of thing to happen.
As you correctly point out, Mr. Cheney is an experienced hunter and should know better.
