If you kill someone while drinking and driving, they can put you in the slammer. Whats the difference here? Both are an accident. Both are negligent. I think we have to start prosecuting these CRIMINALS.

Belle Island, Not to start an argument but rather make just making a point. Neither drinking and driving or killing someone at point blank bow range is an &quot;accident&quot;...
It is very much neglegent and stupid...Period...Nothing to blame but the idiot not the car not the alcohol not the xbow...
Alcohol doesn't put itself into people THEY ingest it. Xbows don't kill people unless they are aimed at someone and the trigger pulled...<img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle>

This stories got me very PO'D... Anyone ever kill my son when he's out bowhunting well I'll leave it at that...

Wow - I can't stop thinking about my 12 year old son now that I've read this post. What is truly unfortunate is that we are &quot;preaching to the choir&quot; so to speak. None of us would do something like that. Why? Because we are conscientious hunters. We discuss, and hopefully follow, identifying our target and once it has been determined that it is &quot;shootable&quot; game we make every effort to make a clean kill. How many posts have we read where someone feels terrible that they lost a deer because of a bad hit? We all feel that we have not paid that animal its proper respect with a bad shot.

We use this forum in order to educate ourselves, socialize with fellow bowhunters, etc. Maybe - just maybe - what we need to do is get the word out about this forum. Everyone that uses a bow or a gun in the name of hunting should read, use, and enjoy this forum. If everyone used this forum as it was intended to be used, tragedies such as this would never - ever happen.

Education equates to safety. Ok - I'm officially off of my soapbox.

Can't help but reply to this topic. The father will probably hate his own guts for the rest of his life for his stupidity. I do not know the specific number of deaths in Michigan. I think not more than 12 in the deer hunting season. Some are heart attacks, others from loading or unloading guns at the trunk of a car. Or falling out of their tree stand. There are about 750,000 rifle hunters and 325,000 bow hunters. Statisticly you've got to have a couple of idiots. I would pray that no one is injured or killed. It is not realistic. terry <img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle>

It is scary to know that there are people out there shooting at noises. I imagine there are a lot doing this that miss and we never hear about it. Long ago I realized there were a lot of stupid people in this world and I'm sure some of them have to be hunters. Makes you think...

The father was suposed to be a good role model but i guess not.

I hope he goes to jail for manslaughter and doesn't get out for about 15 years and he can think about his stupidity from behind bars where he isn't a danger to the rest of the population. Or just tie the ignorant SOB up and stone him to death. Either would be appropriate in my opinion.

Protect your hunting rights, &quot;Spay or neuter a liberal.&quot;

I know this has been said many times, but you must identify your target, and know what is beyond it. That being said I can't believe this guy took a blind shot not knowing where his 14yr old son was.

This guy violated the first rule of safety, &quot;identification of game&quot;! I hope this was an accident, I don't know how this fellow will go on living?
