WOW...just WOW! It sounds pretty cold blooded to me as well...I mean he promised to get help, and then goes on with his day like nothing ever happened? WTH? I'm wondering if perhaps the shooter had never been to hunter safety and didn't have a license? I mean IF it really was an accident, what would he be afraid of getting in trouble for? On top of everything...the court will have to look for some kind exterior motive as the hip shot would have made him scream, but he was also shot in the heart...trying to quiet things down maybe?
On another note, mgk3961, this did not really turn into a Hmong bashing thread. What it turned into was people WARNING others about the dangers of small game hunters being on the same private land. I will agree that Hmong were mentioned a couple of times, but every time I've encountered them on public land it's been a carbon copy of what these other folks have already said here. They all carry semi automatic .22's and they DO walk in military formation. I've watched them empty their guns into squirrel nests just to get them moving without ANY regard as to where those bullets are going. You can call it whatever you want, but I've quit hunting public land just because of them...they come in and take over. I wouldn't even be as upset about as I am, but I have a large maple leaf shaped blaze orange rubber tag deal that attaches to limbs and says "HIDDEN HUNTER" on it...and yet the last time one of them even raised their weapon to look at through the scope! I don't care if you want to call me a racist, but I know what I've encountered and every Hmong I've seen in a hunting situation not only shows NO regard for the laws, but no consideration what so ever for SAFETY. Anyone else that mentioned Hmong were simply stating the same things I just did...they didn't come out and bash them....simply that when you have PEOPLE with no regard for safety things get dangerous very quickly...whatever race they may be.
