Also there is speculation that she was hit by a ricochet not actually shot...
When a hunter accidently shoots another hunter the not wearing orange is a valid argument.Hunters know the risks of being out during gun season and if they choose not to dress accordingly and they get shot its generally safe to say both parties were at fault .
This lady was walking her dog and minding her own business.Its the hunters responsibility to know what he/she is shooting at and whats around it before they pull the trigger.He obviously didnt do that or we wouldnt be having this conversation.
