That's sad and I hope for full recovery for the hunter. But I'm also surprised this hasn't happened more often during the early muzzle loader season because of the dense foliage on the trees and shrubs at this time of year.

yeah, I agree with this being a very sad event and it doesn't make hunters have a good public image either. ALWAYS BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET before you point your weapon of choice.. Up here there is a muzzle loader season only after rifle season has gone by.. Rifle season here starts this Saturday and my son and daughter both are taking hunter safety courses then.. Yikes I will have my hands full of excitement then.. Although it will be great to see them out hunting and knowing they are not doing drugs and all that!!!
