Pretty freakin' messed up man.

My first thoughts are this kid is some idiot who doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground and thinks that a 22 is so small that it could never kill a person. Being shot twice with a 22 could easily happen before a scream would ever be heard. My Ruger will cap off 2 rounds in a blink. He is most likely a moron who knows NOTHING about gun or hunter safety and just shot at a sound or movement.........hell, he may have even shot the kid on purpose thinking it would be funny and just hurt a little bit like an old BB gun or something. When he saw how much the kid was hurt he figured he would get outta Dodge before getting in trouble. I bet he never dreamed the kid would end up dead.

If he did...........he is one SERIOUSLY cold hearted SOB to be able to go about his day as if it never happened.


Either way........stories like this make me sick and I don't even like reading thm.


My father has always said that he has enjoyed hunting a little bit less since all his boys followed in his footsteps and hit the woods with him every year.........he often finds his mind wandering and worrying more about everyone coming home safe then he does about putting deer in the truck. His heart still races when he hears shots ring out close by (he only gun hunts these days)...........but part of that is nervous excitement because he has a place in his heart and mind that can't help but worry about the safety of his boys.............and we are all grown men.

Hunting is so much fun that sometimes people forget how dangerous a situation can become in the blink of an eye.
