That's 2 kids that I have heard about this year. How does the uncle not know where the boy is?40 yds.!

Sickning. Never should happen. Simply put, there is just no excuse. Period.

That chaps my butt!  I was talking to the game warden opening day and there was a report that came across his scanner that said a guy was shot in Giles County.  I told him they should lock that guy up!  I dont have a beard, i dont gobble, I dont have a red, white, and blue head and I'm not 3 feet tall and colored like a turkey!

We had a guy shot here a couple weeks ago. 50+ pellets from the chest up. He going to be O.K. and his eyes were saved by his glasses. Sad part is, he was shot by a guy that has taught firearms safety in the past.

  this ongoing problem stems from the fact that there is a lot of people who just want to shoot,and a lot of people who want to kill something... this is not the mind set of a true hunter.....this statement can be easily verified  by just going and reading the post made by some people on all hunting forums...

A couple of years back in our neck of the woods we had a guy that shot and killed his son.  Losing a child is always a tragedy  Of course, everyone felt horrible for the father too.  That is until they learned that he was trespassing, drunk, and high!
