This story goes back to training. You don't shoot something you can't confirm is what you want to shoot. I am not the most experienced hunter in the field here, but that was lesson one or two when I started using weapons. I know I have had a case of misidentifying animals...at a distance. Sit in a blind and see movement at 75 yds...Horse (saw the mane and tail flip). That being said I didn't shoot at it, I confirmed...

a lot of guys will read this story and think, "That could never happen to me, only happens to rookies" think again--the average age of the shooter in accidents like this is 42 years of age with half having completed a hunter ed course. 66% of accidents happen on PRIVATE LAND! www.nwtf.org/images/Hunter_Safety_Task_Force.pdfwe all need to hunt defensively and safely!! |
