According to that article and another that I read, the guy used a pistol, after sunset, from 200 yards away. Does that sound weird to anyone else?
First thing I thought was tc contender.I would guess that it was a Contender in one of the rifle calibers.
He isn't an illegal with 5 previous deportations and drug charges so he will likely get put away for a long time.

Other than being about hour late, no. Oh, and shooting the woman too. Contender in 35 Rem. is pretty potent deer medicine, 357 Max, and for the crazies maybe 35 Whelen, although I'd say 200 yds is pushing it, even from a good rest. I'd also have to think that if you are a good enough shot to be ethically taking that kind of shot, you'd be on the ball enough to be cognizant of where the misses were going to end up, never mind picking your spot on what you are 100% percent certain of what you are looking at. On the jury, I'd have to assume though, he hit what he was aiming at.According to that article and another that I read, the guy used a pistol, after sunset, from 200 yards away.

I don't know but it seems like alot more accidents in the news this season. Is it more attention by media or actually above the norm?
One is an instructor for the hunter Ed course in NH. He said he's worried about the new younger hunters entering the fold. Says They grew up with "instant gratification" as a mainstay of their existence. Hunting is counter to that mindset......he believes the accidents are going to increase with this younger crowd taking the field because they are straight up IMPATIENT and more apt to take chances with questionable shots.
Not saying I agree with it......but it's food for thought.
IDK many kids who are into hunting, but many of those those that do have been raised as hunters from a young age.I don't know but it seems like alot more accidents in the news this season. Is it more attention by media or actually above the norm?
I was shooting the breeze with a couple of avid hunters at the club last weekend when I went to triple check my zero on the deer hunting irons the day before the season opened.

Cuz he was one of the anointed ones.the MA statie never had anything happen to him.....he was hunting after hours too
It's my understanding that "manslaughter" is the charge brought when negligence is involved in a death....not the Intent to kill another person. So......being an a**h*** in a vehicle and causing an accident theat results in death of another person is manslaughter. Also making a mistake is negligence and can be manslaughter even if not acting crazy behind the wheel. I believe there are levels of manslaughter charges to deal with the intensity of the negligence but not 100% sure on that.Don't have a clue here, but what happens if you are 100% responsible for another's death in a car crash, that was purely the result of an accident, not OUI, racing, texting etc. just a really stupid mistake?
I would argue that I have the best avatar on all of NES....opinions are welcome.It's really hard to concentrate on the posts with that urban camo covered behind jiggling around.
