My first response, besides thinking this is a tragedy, is that boy should have been wiser than that or it wouldn't have happened. However, further thoughts... we learn from others in the things we do and how we get our education. I think if he were taught the right way by someone or had the right gun safety education, this may not have happened. I don't know the circumstances of his gun/hunting education, but it's a reminder to all that we should teach by example because people learn from our examples.

Does little to tell a child not to smoke if you do. Same goes for telling someone to wear a safety harness in a tree when you don't.
