Read the report again. The Geezer shot a bird and went off away from the rest of the group looking for it. He never signaled that he was near the VP, or in the immediate area. Shame on him for getting the VP involved in his brain fart.


They both had a brain fart, although the older gentleman is more to blame - as you said he should have signaled, but I would say the VP should be careful as well - I've seen a hunting dog killed in the same way the older gentleman was shot - by somebody not making sure the immediate area was clear and swinging around.

As far as calling him a "Geezer" - you should be so lucky to be hunting at his age (and to still be quiet enough to walk up near somebody without being heard).

There is only so much you can see with a gun up to your shoulder and your eyes on the sight and the target. That is why they are supposed to signal when they are near,especially if they were not there when the flushing began. He may be the VP but does not have eyes in the back of his head or a periscope that spins around looking for idiots that step in the line of fire.
