just wondering
I'm sure everyone here has heard of the the vice presidents hunting trip and of him shooting a fellow hunter. in the latest news release the white house is placing the blame on the hunter that was shot. In my opinion the vice pres was at fault and negligent in not looking before he shot!! this could have been much worse than it was if 12ga. were involved or the range was shorter. whatare the opinions of folks here???
and what is the law in texas on misshaps like this??? in washington you shoot someoneor something be it a coww or house or whatever you are at fault and stand to lose your hunting prevliges

Cheney is definitely responsible. However, the guy probably feels terrible right about now and of course he didn't mean to do it. Should we make excuses for him? No, but no one is probably harder on him than himself right now and the media circus is ridiculous.

I guess from reading the latest news reports it's ok to shoot someone while hunting in Texas.. as long as it is a accident!!! I think I'll take my ex quail hunting!!! I was wondering what the laws in Texas were and I guess this last report has let me know about Texas laws.

Finnbear,
I think that the comments of people that have hunted with the vice presidents in the past are true, he probley is a safe hunter. I think one thing that this incident shows is that when hunting one must stay focused on safety in the field every time we are out, not just on the birds. I can agree with you in that he is responsible, he pulled the trigger.

Tony, in our great state of Washington, the biggest thing is No Hunting Rights for any Game, for 3 Years. In the case of the V.P. He would have gotten a fine for at least 275.00 on the Quail license infraction. You are right you will lose those Rights for shooting a dog, a cat, anything that is not a Game Animal, Fowl or Bird.
