It you don't want to wear orange while your in the woods so be it. I spend a lot of time in the woods and wear a orange cap and most of the time a orange vest also. I don't care if JJ

I think he might get the maximum, which would not have happened if he'd just taken responsibility for what he did. He pretty much did the opposite and that will be taken into consideration. i noticed you " smokepole " felt this might happen ? but it didn`t . > right or wrong this muzzle loader shooter may ask for another trial yet ? You're right pete, I thought he'd get a longer sentence, wishful thinking on my part. And he should have gotten a longer sentence. He pulled the trigger, the bowhunter died, yet he thinks he's "not guilty" and caused the people of Colorado to pay for not one, but two trials. I don't know how the judge came up with the sentence, but just the fact that he didn't step up and take responsibility would've colored my thinking if I was making the decision.

Welcome to a liberal schiethole. Jail time is a no-no now in such utopias. Let's get real, it was the assault muzzleloader's fault. We need common sense assault muzzleloader control.
I bet pole smokin polis will right this wrong

Pretty much the reason for my position on mandatory blaze orange. Can help lead to "if it don't glow-shoot it" mind set.

Yep, there's no mention of blaze orange in any gun safety rules I've ever seen.

The fact that he shot another hunter makes this guy a negligent hunter at best. The fact that he packed up and left without reporting the shooting speaks volumes about this guy’s character. He got off easy in my opinion. But that’s just an opinion.

He didn't pack up and leave without reporting it. There's no cell service in the area, they drove down to their hotel and called it in.

Ron That and that fact alone should earn him a really long jail sentence. Accidental shooting is inexcusable as it stands but just leaving until everything was sorted out , throw the [bleep] book at him.

A stretch in the Co State Prison System-making blaze orange vests on a sewing machine would be just desserts.
I sold 20 acres near Durango 20 years ago. Like Pagosa Springs though. Still too many migrants from a large West Coast state and another large state E. of New Mexico. Just my studied opinion.
I used a 405 Winchester on my last large CO elk. There were no bow hunters nearby. Perhaps only trained Native Americans should carry bows, while only 1850s trappers should get Hawken muzzle loaders. New Mexico is safer because there are less eastern "hunters".
After serving a term, this PA individual should have been placed on the Western states permanent bar to license/tag: just like a serious poacher.

Why was he allowed to leave after murdering someone? This dumb chuck should face jail time under manslaughter.

Not sure where you got your Information but he was interviewed in person by LE that day, and told them what happened. Kind of hard to do that after leaving.
And he was sentenced to jail. Just not enough IMO. The DA dropped the manslaughter charge.

You are one stupid individual, he reported it, was interviewed by the police and ALLOWED to leave. Stupid may not be adequate, moron may be the more accurate term Azzhole
