Default RE: Irrevocable Decision, The death of Jimmy Griffen video

This is so depressing and an eye opener, from what I watched the guy seems like he never took his orange off. I believe we have all been anxious/nervous in the woods before and taken some bad shots. I can saythat I have always identified my target before I pulled the trigger but there are times when we make poor judgement. Shooting when its too dark is one of them. I really feel bad about some of the decisions I have made in the past about my hunting etiquette and ethics. Not wearing enough orange, shooting too late. This is an extremely sad story and everyone that watches the video should take away a lesson in safety. If any of his family reads this my prayers are with you. As for the shooter, I believe what he says and I believe he is sincere. Because I have been hunting in the darkwoods and know what he could have possibly been thinking. That doesnt dismiss the fact that he should have identified his target. If I accidentally shot and killed one of my friends, I dont know what I would do.
