Hunter mistaken for game
I remember there was a story years ago about a dad who killed his kid thinking it was a deer. The mind blowing stupidity to just shoot something like that when you don't have a clear view of it is wild

This place is full of people who never unload their rifles at all.

ESPECIALLY when you know your child is in the same woods with you.

Yeh if you kill someone while hunting it’s almost always going to start with a negligent homicide charge. Takes special circumstances for it not to

I didn’t realize it until just now but I passed that scene on the way home Sunday night. It was right before the plants on the river side after getting off the interstate and heading north. Didn’t realize anyone hunted south of the plants in that area.

Knew someone who accidentally killed his father while hunting when he was really young. His dad wasn’t wearing orange and was walking to pick up his son. Several years later, the son couldn’t take it anymore and committed suicide.
Prayers for everyone involved.

if you are shooting at random moving shite
Which exactly how my buddy shot me. Shot at moving bushes, and my camo was apparently really good (this was a thousand years ago, before hunter orange was a thing). Luckily, although I caught about half his pattern, none in the face or other tender areas, and the #6 shot didn’t penetrate my abdominal cavity. Still was not much fun.
I still remember one of the nurses at the Ascension Parish hospital saying they usually expected several on opening day of the season.
A good friend of mine’s cousin was the third hunter with Jacob, and he was one of her really good friends. You can imagine how devastated all the families are.

So any details? Were they deer hunting, rabbit, hog ??? Rifle shotguns, dogs, accidental discharge while getting in out of stand? Mistaken identity? Was the shooter experienced
ETA: sounds like they suspect something funny

BATON ROUGE - A Christmas weekend hunting trip turned tragic when 54-year-old Thomas Franklin mistook 34-year-old Jacob Altazan for a deer and killed him. David Doucet, a friend of Altazan's said he was knowledgeable about hunting. "That's what he did. Hunting and fishing," Doucet said. Doucet said Altazan was diligent with hunting safety, which is why it was no surprise to see him in his hunter's safety orange gear while packing up to leave that day. A security camera captured Altazan, Franklin and another man packing up their car at 3 p.m. Saturday. Police were dispatched to the shooting at 4:20 p.m. Doucet said the third man from the group told him what happened. "He heard the gunshot go off. Then he heard screaming and whenever he got to where the screaming was coming from, Tommy [Franklin] was standing there with the gun talking about 'it accidentally went off' and 'he's dead'." Trending News Woman dead after falling into Atchafalaya River early Tuesday morning BRPD looking for Subway robber Franklin told police no one was wearing their hunter's orange safety vests when the shooting happened. Doucet said it's hard for him to believe that Altazan removed his vest. "He had orange on whenever he got out of the vehicle and went into the woods and the time frame that I put together they couldn't have been in the woods very long at all and where did his orange go to? He didn't take it off and throw it on the ground?" Doucet said. He said that if Franklin's description is accurate, he doesn't understand why the hunters removed their orange vests. And if they weren't wearing orange, he said he doesn't understand why Franklin wasn't more careful shooting. "Jacob had orange on when he got out of the vehicle and went into the woods," Doucet said. "He went in to the woods before them two and if something did happen and his orange did come off for whatever reason, why would you go into the woods and discharge a firearm without putting your eyes on that third person when you know he's in there?" Franklin was booked with negligent homicide early Sunday. He was released Christmas Day on a $10,000 bond.

The only guns not loaded in the gun room are the hunting rifles.

When I first heard this something didn’t add up.

I’ll wager their expectations of several were never met.
