How does one shoot and kill another hunter thinking he is a deer. I truly have no concept of how this happens. Prayers to the family. Gentlemen please make sure everyone stays safe.

So so so stupid. HOW????
One of the first rules of thumb is to make sure of your target and what us beyond your target. People never cease to amaze me.

Just have a hard time wrapping my mind around that. How in the hell do you aim at a deer not knowing what it is you are shooting.

I really don't understand how this happens, accidental discharges, accidents...yes, silly but I understand.
How you aim and fire at a non deer as a deer is really beyond me.

No hunters orange, not being 100% certain of what your are shooting, etc. stupidity on display. I know the Haynes family. They are good people. What a needless tragedy.

Sad to hear that. I'll never understand how someone can make the mistake of confusing a human for a deer, but then I know someone who was shot by a squirrel hunter while waving his hand from a tree stand. Brush busters are dangerous people to be around while int he woods.

I have an acquaintance that has been missing for over a year now after going hunting by himself last year..
There have been a ton of speculation about what really happened, one thing is for sure, he didn't come out the woods alive

What?! Where did this happen? What are some of the "conflicting reports? "

Was walking out from the stand this morning and admittedly I never wear orange. In tall grass almost head high ( I'm short) and the thought crossed my mind that someone could be trespassing and take a shot at a dark object going through the grass.

Terrible tragedy.
Know your target. Be safe.

Cant be much woods left between west point and the drainage canal, huh?
Posted on 11/10/14 at 9:12 pm to jorconalx
Not much, plus Wells' field was always behind it on the rear. Canal is on the side.
