Oh geez

If your son, dad, brother, wife, etc shoots another person in the woods, he/she is a fricking moron criminal and should be prosecuted as at least a manslaughter case.



If accidental, this is not the law.

There is NO, not one single reason why someone should shoot at something they aren't sure of. A person looks absolutely nothing like a deer!


Agreed.

If you shoot into a bush and kill a Bald Eagle, you are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Why is it less and considered an accident if it's a human?

Shooter was obviously wrong. No one disagrees with that. Just recognize there is a distinction, morally and legally, between intentional and unintentional acts.

They are both at fault, but the man that shot should face some sort of penalty. In my club you are fined for shooting a small buck. The defense of I thought it was a doe is wrong. That just says you didn't know 100% what you were shooting at and you get fined and it goes against your buck limit. I pass on bucks all the time because I'm not 100% on size. Better to let them walk and grow.
In this case the shooter is wrong unless the victim was wearing antlers and a pelt and walking on all fours.

It is NOT unintentional! He aimed and intentionally pulled the trigger. He didn't drop his gun and it went off accidentally.

I don't care if you see a 12 point clearly yet it walks behind a bush, you CANNOT shoot blindly into the bush not knowing what's behind it. If you do, you are responsible for what you kill, even if it's human.....that would be homicide, period

Shooting somebody in a hunting "accident" is an intentional act. Shoulder, sight, aim, and squeeze all require intent. You may not have hit your intended target, but shooting a firearm requires intent.
