Deer
No antlers involved.
D. Boone kil a bar on this tree.
I was kind of wondering how the heck someone could kill a deer while dove hunting. Especially kill a deer accidentally...
Killed a deer/Killdeer.....minor distinction....when all you want to do is have a "gotcha" moment.
Jeez! Freaking reporteres.
How did he hit a killdeer? Those things can MOVE. Must have been an accident. :)
An animal vs a friend.
I guess that this non-story will continue to proliferate until every "journalist" in every newspaper and advertising circular has had their say.
Fortunately, most Americans are already tired of this non-story and are turning their backs on the publications that continue pushing it.
I expect they will have comppleted their rant sometime around the year 2027.
Caroline is one stupid suint.
Semper Fi,
We mostly call them kildees in Texas and it's entirely possible to kill one if they come in with a flight of doves to a grain field.
I've never killed one, but I've mistakenly shot at one before.
They don't resemble Bambi in the least, and this is a stupid gaffe by the Financial Times.
Remember when the media was saying "It's only sex."
Well this is only an accident.
Get a life, press corps.
The police were called right away. The local press were called first thing the next morning.
The press is hyperventilating because thats what they do. If it wasn't this, it would be something else. Think back a week; they were hyperventilating then, and Cheney hadn't yet shot anyone. Next week it will be something else.
Its hard to take these people seriously, and I don't.
Once I was disking a field when this killdeer started crippling around trying to get me to follow her off away from her eggs...Every round I made she got more frantic in her antics to get me to follow her off..Her eggs on the ground were easy to spot and when it finally came time to disk that spot she held her ground about 6 inches in front of her eggs......I pulled the front tractor tire of this huge tractor which had the ground shaking up to within a few inchs of the mama bird......She never moved an inch, she made her stand......I got off the tractor moved the nest over to ground which had been worked and all was well.....Killdeers can be fierce....just like your mama.....
We don't care about Vice president Cheney's unfortunate accident and we all hope his friend recovery. WHAT ABOUT THE SADAM TAPES!
I'm appalled by the media's "need to know" mentality. The media (paparazzi) were, in part, responsible for the death of Princess Diana.
Cheney acted like any responsible citizen; having his friend immediately transported to the hospital and
reporting the incident to the police. But it was another chance for the MSN's to throw more barbs at the Bush administration and they're taking every opportunity to enhance the story with their own evil litany.
You know, the press is hypocritical.
They didn't criticize Bill Clinton when didn't immediately notify the press after he discharged his gun in the Oval Office and shot an innocent young intern in the face.
Different kind of gun, of course, but the principle is the same.

Here are some facts about Cheney that no one has yet seemed to reveal.
Among the sciolistic scriveners of the MSM it is well known that Cheney is Bush's hit man. It is equally well known the GWB loves his father. When his father lost the election to Klinton it was mainly due to the fact that the MSM thought his Vice-President was a joke. So GWB never forgave that VP for the loss and ordered Cheney to kill him last weekend. Unfortunately Cheney got his orders confused and went looking for the wrong Quayle, ergo he shot the wrong person. Don't tell David Gregory about this, or he'll cry for a month.:^)
What would you expect from a London FT reporter? She probably has no idea what any of these animals even look like nor what kind of gun is used for hunting them.
