RE: NY hunting accident..... Or is it??

I don't feel sorry for the grandfather and uncle. They retreived the does first because they were illegal and wanted to get them out before anyone found them. They were more concerned about their sorry asses than they were about the boy. Grandads biggest concern was losing his hunting license. I have no doubt that if it had been a stranger who was shot they would have left him and taken off.

DD, It definitely happened.. it was about 15 miles from where I live...
NYharvester can second me on this.. He lives in the same town as I do..

reason the story is comming out in the paper now is because the kids twin brother is telling the true story now and blowing some whistles on his grandfather and shady evil looking cousin..

RE: NY hunting accident..... Or is it??

sounds to me they were more worried about getting in trouble for poaching the does than they were worried about their own family members' life. it's sad that there are people in this country like this but i come in contact with people like this all of the time. people like these people are the same caliber of people who run from the police. they have no respect or disregaurd for human life...they only care about getting away from a crime that they willingly committed.

I agree with your sentiments DD, especially withthat rag of a paper we're stuck with locally[:'(]. The sad fact is it DID happen , and like Salty said not to far from where we hunt. Sickens me to think of this S***mbag in the woods chasing after deer while a boy lay shot; let alone the fact he was the one who shot hishis own grandson.[:@][>:]
I hope he suffers with this guiltforever.
I'm sure we'll hear more detailsabout this case localin the near future.

Quote:

This grandfather failed to follow very, very basic firearm safety.

1. ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY IDENTIFY YOUR INTENDED TARGET.

2. BE SURE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NOTHING IN YOUR RANGE OF FIRE, IN FRONT OR BEYOND, YOUR INTENDED TARGET THAT YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.

3. ONLY THEN SHOULD YOU REMOVE THE SAFETY &TOUCH THE TRIGGER.

This appears that the grandfather...........

VIOLATED #2.....................and it cost the boy his life.

Nailed that one UM . Stupid needless tradgedy...
