that hunter is an absolute dumbass. there is no excuse for shooting a human being in a hunting incident - "know your target and beyond".

"Ochoa was wearing dark-colored clothing when an Oregon man hunting for bear with his 12-year-old grandson saw something moving in the brush and fired one shot from a .270-caliber rifle, striking Ochoa, the Marion County Sheriff's Office said." Probably an ill-advised choice of clothing during bear season. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.creativeparties.co.uk/library/costumes/main/Smiffys/S31680.jpg)

Doesnt matter what he was wearing, no [bleep] excuse whatsoever for this. Idiot took a shot at something moving in the brush. Manslaughter at least.

No relief to the hunter's ultimate responsibility but people need to be smart when they are going into the woods in hunting seasons. Need to wear blaze even if they are not hunting.
Heard of worse too. A woman in my home town was hanging clothes in her backyard. Unfortunately she was wearing a brown coat with white gloves and you all can guess what happened. So caution in shooting but also caution in clothing too.

Completely wrong, but completely positive. I believe it could happen to anybody.

WHAT A DUMBAZZ HUNTER! Know your target, PERIOD! Never shoot at sounds or unclear movement, NEVER!

Completely wrong, but completely positive. I believe it could happen to anybody. He didn't see a bear because there wasn't a bear. He can claim that he saw a leperchaun holding hands with a midget, reality is he shot a man and if that looked like anything except a man then he didn't have a good enough view to shoot. Slob hunter doesn't happen to anybody, it happens to slobs.

Yep, manslaughter or negligent homicide. Knowing your target is a responsibility that comes with pulling the trigger.
I'm recalling back in the 70's farmers in the Catskills painting "COW" on their cows, and among my realtives up there blaze orange on the dogs, blaze orange on themselves even (or especially) when walking down the driveway to check the mailbox (which got shot, the house got hit too).
More than any other group, hunters are the ones which chase all other users out of the woods. As the proportion of other users steadily rises, this well-founded fear of hunting season will kill the sport as quick as any other.
