A hunter in western New York shot a pick-up truck when he mistook it for a buck

[upbeat5]

Not a hunter, so how possible to mistake a pick up truck for deer, unless alcohol involved?

[freedomlover]

Maybe it was a Ram.

Some idiots follow the creed “if it’s brown, shoot it down.”
They end up shooting cows, goats, dogs, etc and wondering just where the deer went.
They never identify what they are shooting.

After dark, unless he had night vision goggles, it's hard to figure out what's what.

[SandRat]

neither its driver, Robert Merritt, nor the other passenger was harmed.,***but they crapped their pants.

[Michael.SF.]

The truck should have been wearing an orange vest.

[GnuThere]

Now that was funny!

As Jeff Foxworthy said: “That’s what you get for driving a brown station waggon, with luggage rack, and a white license plate.”

Maybe it was a Ram.””

Maybe it had a ‘rack’ on it.

I can remember that farmers painted “C O W” with spray paint on the sides of heir cows during hunting season.

Hunters kept killing my cows every year so I painted the word COW in big bold letters on the side of each cow.

Then they shot my tractor.

It was a John Deere.

Oh Magoo, you've done it again.

[Old Yeller]

Needs to get his money back on that scope.

[poinq]

Clearly not in Wisconsin

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Badly trained idiots like this and the guy who shot a woman he thought might be a deer only make it hard for responsible gun owners.

[Vendome]

Winnuh!!!!

[digger48]

You can be sure that there are several NY legislators working on new gun bans at this very moment.

And Cuomo is firing up his pen to sign anything anti-gun that comes across his desk

[Blue Jays]

Moronic and completely preventable accidents in the field do NOT help our pro-Second Amendment efforts.

[fieldmarshaldj]

The perp.

[DeWalt]

I thought New York is a shotgun only state.
