Locally we just had a 15 yr. old shot and killed in a hunting accident over the weekend. The boy and his grandfather were squirrel hunting and a deer hunter who saw movement he says and just shot, hit the boy in the chest killing him.
None were wearing orange, first rule of hunting broken. Rule number two the 66 yr. old man shot at a target 50-75 yards away based on the fact he saw movement only and not identifying his target properly. My nine year old son when he heard that said aloud, you always have to know what your target is before firing and what is behind it...
My son went to school with the deceased kid. The deceased boys family is devastated, please pray for them.
I will say a prayer for the family, sarge83. I am sure your son is affected by this tragedy as well.
Tragic! Shooting at movement through the trees is just insane. You would think a 66 year old would know better. Just think, he has probably been doing this his whole life and just now killed someone.
