Hunting accident(not good)
im not sure if it was posted but in Va yesterday someone was hunting near a college campus. They werent on the campus since thats not legal, but they were hunting the bordering woods for deer with a rifle.
Well a group of 3 college students took a shortcut through the woods off the campus for some science class research I believe. The hunter heard them walking and fired. The young lady was struck in the head or chest(dont know the details but at this point does it matter). She was killed. One of the 2 other men were struck in the hand. The hunter wasnt a youg kid but from what I heard someone in his 40's maybe?
some of the Va guys probably can post a link to the story...
Words cant explain why someone would shoot at a moving twig or sound with a RIFLE. Its no accident about that. I cant beleieve he fired more than one shot either. My prayers go out to the parents and friends of all involved.

Some folks just plain get too much ego invested in 'gettin' my deer,' at the expense of safety and even common sense. How do you shoot at something without identifying exactly where you're aiming AFTER identifying WHAT you're aiming at? Earlier this year a father who was TURKEY HUNTING (also trespassing) shot and killed his 12 year old son who was coming to be with him. Just last week a buck ran into the side of a car and was killed, but a bullet shattered the windshield at the same time; fortunately neither the woman of her grandson in the car were injured. How do you hunt that close to an improved road without considering the danger?
Vortex, Phoenix, single-shot rifles and handguns.
Incurable tinkerer.
Why hunt? Simple, it's BASIC. Why breath?!

This is really terrible news. I dont understand how anyone can fire a shot without knowing 110% what the !&*@! their aiming at. I will agree with L&B here, no mercy.
They said "hunting accident" in the report. That should be changed.
My thoughts are with the families of these poor souls.

I don't think that stupidity is a strong enough word for this idiot. I was on a WMA hunting once, we got back to the camp ground and I when over to talk with a guy that was camping next to us. When I asked if he had seen anything, he said he had gotten off a bush shot. I asked what was a bush shot, he said that he heard a noise in a bush and shot it, but he didn't get anything. I asked where are you hunting at, because I didn't want to be anywhere around him. this was years ago, and it's sad to see that there are still idiots out there doing this, unreal. Well my condolences go out to everyone involved, this is certainly a tragedy. PS, I hope this idiot rots in jail.

I agree, no such thing as a hunting accident. the hunter is in control of his wepon and shooting at something is a deliberate act. charges should be manslaughter at the minimumgogo wrote:I read the article, this was not a hunting accident it was a criminal act right from the start. Our hearts and prayers go out to the families. As for the shooter I hope he gets the maximun penalty.
time in the woods is time well spent
