RE: Fellow Bowhunter Killed by Poacher
How stupid and irresponsible can you be! In addition to being illegal, it's not like it isn't easy to pick
out people dressed as goose decoys. It reminds me of the guy that shot at the deer decoy 7 times
from less than 100 yards and it didn't move. The shooter should be sterilized on account of stupidity.
Due to the illegality of his conduct at the time, in my state it could possibly be negligent homicide
and he could get a sentence of 3-5 years or so.
This is not a typical hunting accident. Although it is a "mistake" in that he didn't mean to kill
someone, it is one that was made recklessly, callously, and in violation of 3-4 different laws, so I think
there is probably a criminal charge for this similar to killing someone (unintentionally) while drunk driving.

Prayers sent to the family and friends[&o]
They need to find not just the guy that pulled the trigger, but all three of them and give 'em what they deserve[:@]

Everybody calm down. Its not murder. It negligent homicide or possibly manslaughter. To be considered murder there must be intent. In other words the guy shooting the rifle had to know that there was a kid in there and decided to kill him. Not that it matters one iota.
For all of those who yelled to string them up.... Ask yourself this: "have you ever been tempted to shoot at something from a truck?" Have you ever been driving down the road and see a big buck, or monster tom turkey and thought about shooting it? Just remember that us humans are flawed, and we make mistakes. "judge not, less ye be judged"
I'm not condoneing what they done. Its horrible and senseless. I feel horrible for the family and my prayers go out to them. I certainly hope that the offender comes forward.
I'll tell you one thing after reading this story, The next time that I shoot at something I'll think twice about it. Remember folks, the first rule is: "to always be certain of your target and the background"

Wow, Joey... I can't even begin to describe the roller coaster of emotions I'm riding after reading that press release... Anger, sadness, grief... amazing.
I hope the truck leaving the scene slowly means the shooter saw the result of his despicable actions and he has to live with himself now.
