Absolutely tragic, I can't comprehend what the father would be going through, very sad! K

[Spy]

Tragic is an understatement ! Thats a simply terrible accident ! Maybe poor light/ visibility might have played a role considering it was 630pm !Be safe out there & please make sure of your target before pulling the trigger !

thats brutal.

Poor dad

This is nonsense. You are accountable the second you load your firearm. Accidents like this give a bad wrap to responsible firearm owners. These two instances should have never happened.

[RiverOtter]

Condolences to the family...

Another well thought out post.........especially considering the details haven't even been released yet!

Comments like yours never cease to amaze me .... insightful, articulate, thoughtful, sensitive, humbling, inspiring ...
This forum would just not be the same without you.

[Weatherby Fan]

This is unthinkable,my thoughts are with the family.

[Jack Russell]

This is truly a tragedy for any family. Heartbreaking for the father and family.

and just what could be released that would make this a preventable death?
nothing makes this death right.
the shooter should have his gun taken away and his hunting priveleges.

why are you attacking a member for pointing out hunter safety?

i would feel sorry for the father if some stranger shot his son.
but the father himself, lifted his gun on his son, aimed at him, and pulled the trigger and killed him.
those are facts.
this is not an accident.

and nice sig.
way to jump aboard and join the bullying.
do you feel better about yourself?
just because people say things that you dont agree with doesn't make them wrong or stupid.

what did whitlers say that is incorrect?
it's wrong to point out safety?

what's with the member-bashing?
really, what was the purpose of your commenting on his post?

[Weatherby Fan]

duallie
I think what there trying to say is yes it was terrible thing that happened but now is the time for a little compassion not ridicule or a safety lesson,
I can't imagine how the Father feels,let alone the rest of the family.
All the discipline in the world won't help this tragic accident,I'm sure he won't be want to pick a gun up for a long time,if ever again.

Can't even imagine the horror of this? What a terrible thing to happen.

Did I miss another article on this topic or where does "inadvertently" turn into "lifted his gun on his son, aimed at him, and pulled the trigger and killed him."? ? ? I don't see the facts you note above?




Terrible accident.

[ncurrie]

Yes but remember Duallie is perfect and doesn't make any mistakes! So he feels he can ridicule anyone especially when they are going through a very tragic time in their life.

My sincere condolences goes out to that poor family.

[whitlers]

Just making a valid point. Didn't mean to take away from the fact that it is indeed horrible. I am truly sorry for their loss. Not intended to offend anyone.

[hunter1947]

This is very sad news to hear it gives me the shivers up my back bone to hear about this shooting accident ,my condolence goes out to the family and friends..

Care to point me to those "facts"?

My sig line, kinda has a resounding ring to it, almost like a hammer hitting a nail right square on the head......

If you're gonna slag people at every turn, you had better grow some thicker skin kid.

[pronghorn]

This is truley sad as it happened not 45 mins from where I live now and was a shock to the hunting community here

[Philcott]

There are many ways this could have happened. Every one of them are tragic.

Sadness fills my heart for the people involved in this tragedy.

Duallie ... a couple things are clear. 1) There are members of this forum who's "sensitivity/ compassion" guage doesn't register and 2) I don't anticipate you connecting with this - sometimes "compassion" wires are not a part of the machine. A tragic event has occurred greatly effecting a family and friends, regardless of the events leading up to said event. As Weatherby Fan articulated, IMO, it's not a time to be "soap boxing" on gun safety. Your " facts" about the father lifting his gun on his son, "aiming" and pulling the trigger implies murder ... wow ... are those "the facts"? Terrible for family and friends, whatever the case.

Looks like this is more than just a misfire.............................can you imagine? Wow.

[xcaribooer]

The victim was a husband and father of 3 children as well. I hope they are getting the support they need from the local community.

[Philcott]

Well that report shines more light on the situation and it plainly states he didn't verify his target before firing the shot. That still doesn't make it any less tragic for the shooter and the family. S sad day in the hunting community.

Yup.....agreed; tragic yet unfortunately it was completely avoidable.

[Metis Huntress]

I cry as I read this as I miss the life that was taken from him far too soon. He was a young man with ambition, love and family. His friends, as am I will never forget what love he had for his family. He wouldn't be the kind of man that would blame his father for nothing more than an accident. He was loved by all that knew him.

People like duallie are why there is an ignore list, don't feed the trolls, just add to your ignore list and never read or repost their drivel.

Condolences to the family.

[troutseeker]

Anyone knows if the father is charged with careless use of a firearm?

[ravensfoot]

[trapperRick]

[HIGHRPM]

[russm]

Shitty situation, but it does come back to target varification which for most of us us one of the very first things we learn to do :s not to play the blame game or anything....
