I don't specifically know the outcome for the hunter but the situation is certainly worth telling.It was BP deer season in '04.I had hunted an area up until 1:00 p.m.The area had seemed unproductive so I decided to check out a nearby spot.Coming down the firetrail I heard a shot maybe 40 or so yards in the woods.I wondered what the hunter got.The following day came a news report of a hunter being shot.That's the shot I heard.The victim received a BP load in the abdomen.The shooter was 16.The victim had sufficient blaze orange and was carrying a tree stand.I later discussed this w/another friend who hunts the area.I was told the victim diied after 2 weeks in the hospital.Looked that up before making this post and couldn't verify the fatality.A knuckelhead award is certainly deserved by the shooter.Be safe this year and happy hunting.
