Read the comments on the story that was linked. A few things from the comments: Apparently, the old man was deaf as a post; The game warden in question is a noted prick with lots of complaints in the area; and,the game warden had just checked another family member who told him where the old man was and told him that he was practically deaf. In fact, the other family member asked to go down there with the GW when he checked the deceased's license, but because of a bad back, he had to go get into a truck and drive. The game warden wouldn't wait on him.
And only one shot was heard by all parties in the area.
Why would I read comments there when I have comments here?
I am supposed to believe that the old dude couldn't hear and that is what led to this escalation?
"Can I see some Identification" "What?" "Can I see some Identification" "What?" BOOM!
No matter what the facts are, no matter what his version of the story is, you have the guy convicted already. I just wonder why he didn't take him out of the stand instead of asking him to come down, would have been a lot more fun watching him fall after plugging him. (exaggeration disclaimer)
