Actually, the guy went to get a bird. Cheney and the other hunter had moved on to the next covey.
At which point the peppered hunter walked up on Cheney and the other, IN THEIR LINE OF HUNTING FIRE AREA, WITH OUT ANNOUNCING HE WAS WALKING UP ON THEM.
The injury IS light.
I have actually been rained on before. Their bird hunting. Its a light load ammo.
Same here, although not hard enough to get knocked down.Obviously, the VP was not being careless as you described so well. I come from a family of hunters. Stuff happens, even when things are done perfectly.
