I hadn't heard about this before today. I hope that he is doing ok.
While I haven't gone hunting for a few years now, I have hunted quite a bit in the past. How can you possibly aim and shoot at an unclear target? I can sort of understand crossfire and someone walking into line, but only barely.
Besides that, there are possibly hikers, photographers, sightseers, ranchers, kids, and fishermen out there that aren't wearing orange! If I remember it is hunting season, I will wear a vest when I am out, but I don't always remember to take one when I am not actively hunting anymore. How many more people are out there looking for stock or other activites besides hunting in this good weather? Especially in a river bottom area.
There just isn't any excuse for this that I can see.
Our prayers are with the family. God bless!
