re: Woman walking dogs mistaken for a deer, killed by hunter

And every single person was trigger happy and wrong to shoot.

I don't disagree.

There was an article in a hunting magazine that interviewed a couple of shooters. In their mind they 100% thought they were shooting a deer. In one incident a grandfather was seconds away from shooting his grandson but decided to wait until the "deer" got closer. Turned out to be his grandson.

Another case, a guy killed his best friend. He was carrying his climbing stand on his back and he just knew it was the big buck they had been hunting. He sold all his guns and never hunted again.

Every case that a hunter shoots someone it's stupidity on the hunter. I've never just taken a shot at an animal.

Its true, same for me, too many idiots like this a-hole.

Even from 200yds, a deer profile is not that of a person, its awful target recognition, feel bad for her.

While no charges have been filed against Jadlowski and he has been cooperating with investigators, the shooting was reported at 5:24 p.m., which is 40 minutes after sunset. It is against New York state law to hunt deer after sunset.

Jaime Billquist also said his wife was shot on their next-door neighbor's property and that Jadlowski didn't have permission to be hunting on the property.

Not to mention, how many fricking deer do you see out walking two labs?

Was it a doe day?

You hear these types of stories every now and then but what the frick is wrong with these people? The first rule of hunting is never shoot unless you are 100% what you’re shooting. If it’s too dark to tell with absolute certainty you let it walk

All of the rules assume the hunter has good eyesight, I was standing next to a open field with a friend that has been deer hunting for 40 years or so, and he saws look at that buck, I say where, and he says over there by the tree line, About 200 yards out is a fallen tree trunk leaning against a short sapling which to him looked like a deer. Shortly after that he was got his first ever pair of glasses. Often people do not realize what that their eyesight has declined until they go to renew their drivers license, or some other event makes it apparent.

Yes, I’m sure some idiot shooting at what he thought was a deer will get convicted of first degree murder.

Worst charge he can catch is involuntary manslaughter or an equivalent charge depending on the laws in his state.
