So, let me get this straight: he took shots at 2 things he wasn't sure of!?! When I first read this story, I thought one of the deaths might have been an unfortunate ricochet or something along those lines. Was this guy on drugs or drinking?
Mike: I more or less agree 100% with what you said. I haven't been hunting in years, but when I first learned to shoot, the rule was your finger stays away from the trigger until you're ready to fire. You aren't ready to fire unless you're 100% certain you've identified the target.
Best case scenario of not following this protocol is you might kill an animal which is endangered, and get yourself in trouble from the game warden. Worst case scenario was pretty much outlined in the news article.

Dan,
Since you posted the original story, I've been doing occasional searches to see what if any thing will come out of the investigation.
Apparently the wheels of justice turn slowly in Carroll County, Illinois.
As near as I have been able to discover, there haven't even been any follow-up articles. You'd think the public would be demanding some kind of action. I mean, for a hunter to kill both a walker and his dog...

I learned the same thing in hunter's saftey class when I was 15 or 16. Never shoot unless you know what you're shooting at and there's nothing in the way or beyond that taget. My dad wanted me to shoot a deer once when we were hunting and I could have, the deer was a mere 10 ft away, but my dad was in the line of sight just over a small hill beyond the deer(I did not take the shot, waited for the deer to jump and run). A person has to have morals, if not moral judgement about things, especially when they are hunting. The man who did it should never be allowed to hunt or own any guns for the rest of is life, IMO.
That man needs to be charged. 2nd degree murder or manslaughter...something! 60 yards away = 180 feet and he DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S HE SHOOTING! In a tree stand none the less!!!
I bet there's another segment of the story....he was pissed off because Mr.Pittman and his dog were scaring off the deer....
holy smokes...that seems unbelievable to me...I've hunted my whole life and I've never mistaken a hunter or a dog for a deer...I don't know how you do that to be honest

It's my understanding that a Grand Jury is only allowed to hear evidence from the Prosecutor, not from the defense? If that's so, what on earth did the lame Prosecutor offer up in terms of evidence or argument? This is so wrong.
