I commend the PGC for a fine investagation, something I have not seen stated here. Wingbar, I don't know man, I just don't know where your coming from. Would you be talking this crap if it were your family member? Nevermind, strike that, I think I as many others here already know the answer. I commend you also for your belief's however misguided they may be, cause I don't see in 5 pages too many sideing with you if any at all including myself.

btw, there's been a study that shows rifles are safer than shotgun slugs.

dd it was 3D
T now I know you're a fool...the VERY FIRST lesson learned in this business is for every expert whom produces a "study' another expert produces an opposing "study"....ha ha you make me chuckle!
Md no I would not sue if it was I or a family member.....it was an accident nothing more nothing less
** one question none of you have answered is just how is a cash settlement going to ease her pain an suffering****
BT it's more like 60-65% but then again isn't it the atty. taking the risk by fronting his $ for the case...in this instance it could EASILY exceed $100,000 -$150,000 for research, etc. ( how do you think I got all this land up here?)

wingbar - Its obvious you have no idea what the hay your talkin about!

Your rambling on,making assumptions about events or circumstances that have not yet been decided or even taken place. In addition you have a nack for trashing or down right insulting other members on this MB. You really need to take a chill pill buddy!

Have a nice 48hr vacation!

Wingbar,
Are you and those who agree with you totally, TOTALLY NUTS? You always make sure of your target and beyond (one of the first BASIC rules you learn in Hunter's safety)--If you don't know and practice that---stay home--The shooter deserves whatever he gets and the victim should be supported and apologized to by the hunting community. Sounds like there was no intention to do anything wrong. Doesn't matter. The behavior was wreckless and careless. This is not a Game (as someone earlier said "comes with the game"") she wasn't even "playing", yet she gets penalized by getting shot. What chances was she taking that day? being within 3/4 mile from some unsafe goober. You said there is no crime without intent---WRONG---I got two words for you--vehicular homicide---think most drunk drivers mean to kill someone?--no matter--they are still responsible because of their wreckless behavior, just like this guy. It's just hard to comprehend some of your alls thinking on this one.

Maineguide---guns are dangerous and should be thought of that way and safety instructors do read out of books--their called manuals--so they don't miss any critical points. With Safe handling practices the danger is less but never completely gone (obviously that doesn't apply here)

Let me know if some of you are coming out West--that way I'll know when to wear my kevlar vest

btw--those that support the shooter, please don't disclose to others that you are hunters/sportsmen b/c if those are your true beliefs (c'mon, they can't be) then you are not.

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey GOOD BYE!!

Hopefully I dont get a 48 hour vacation but I had to do it.[8D]

Bull, You are a naughty boy shame on you.

And now, by mere coincidence, we'll hear from Ulysses on this thread or this board. I think his latest vacation might be about over

Pay any outstanding bills. Have you been treated in a hospital lately? Very, very expensive. Might enable her to get a treatment and meds she might not be able to afford outherwise. Suffering? I don't think anything can dismiss the suffering she and her family have endored. The pain and suffering award is generally much smaller than the punitive phase of the judgement. That is where he will pay big bucks as he rightly should. This man altered this womans life for life and should pay for it. I dought she will ever recover much if any of any judgement in her favor. The shooter I saw on TV was smug and unremorseful. That alone shows how intellegent this ol sole is. Maybe, just maybe if he showed some remorse he wouldn't be getting sued. What a fool.

Unless you have Xray vision and can see through 0.5 mi. of orchard , then you are in no postion to criticise the hunter who involoved in the accident.
