    No charges filed? The man should be executed. At least Dick Cheney’s friend only got his face messed up. If you don’t know where your kid is, don’t be shooting at moving objects. The poor mom.

    Very tragic indeed!
    It’s a common mistake among hunters.
    Hunting is a dangerous sport and most hunters don’t know the rules!

    What a tragedy! In my state, it’s illegal to shoot a turkey with a beard less than 6 long. You actually have to see what you’re shooting at, which is always an imperative for true hunters, anyway. It’s hard to imagine what foolishness brought about such a horrible event.

    Another sad death of men playing with guns. The old hunters motto If it moves shoot it I hope this sad death taught this father a lesson and he puts his toy away for good.

    Yes, and there was drugs and alcohol in his system!
