A young man sitting in a tree stand heard something coming and killed his own father. Do people check their brains when they leave the truck? I couldn't feel more sorry for this guy. He'll likely never get over it.
Police: Son fatally shoots his father in hunting accident
Published November 25, 2016 Associated Press
SANDY CREEK, N.Y. – State police say a 24-year-old man mistook his father for a deer and fatally shot the older man while hunting near the family's central New York home on Thanksgiving.
Troopers say Kristopher Paro was in a tree stand in the woods behind his home in the Oswego County town of Sandy Creek around 4:40 p.m. Thursday when he heard what he thought was a deer about 100 yards away.
Police say Paro fired a shot, unaware that his father, 58-year-old Kevin Paro, had gone into the woods a short time earlier to hunt. Troopers say the father was hit in the chest by a round from his son's .270-caliber rifle.
The older man was taken to Oswego Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The son hasn't been charged. Police say their investigation is continuing.

If the old codger was dressed in a white tail coat the kid never should have mistaken him for a deer!
I have never understood how a human can be mistaken for a four legged animal, no wonder Obama was elected.

"Sound" shooting. Once I hunted with a guy shot at sounds, but only once.

Don't know...but a chest shot from a hundred yards away seems like it might take a little bit of aiming...

The old guy must have been making some kind of racket to be able to be heard at 100 yds.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Sunset was at 4:32pm yesterday. Always carry a lit flashlight when moving through the woods at dawn and dusk during gun season!
