#1 This just proves that those RedStater hunter types are all dangerous nuts - nuts I tell ya'!

#2 "About 20 shots were fired but it was unclear if any of the hunters had fired at the suspect or who might have shot first - there was just one gun among the eight people killed or wounded."

>this is odd, if I'm at the cabin & my buddy radios a distress call & he's getting shot at. I damn well bring my trusty .30-30 w/me when trying to help him out.

#3 This is why I don't hunt during modern rifle season any more. There are too many ID10T's that think they are the "great white hunter".

At least during bow season, most of the idiots can't hit you (or anything else) at more than 25 yards. To get good (i.e. able to hit a fist sized spot on a deer at 40+ yards) with a bow you have to practice at least 6 months in advance. And getting pissed only decreases accuracy.

#4 True N Guard. I prefer Bowhunting as well for the more pure art of it, and, imho the bow hunters are more serious folks. I'm trying to get into recurves now after years of using a compound. OTOH, I must admit, I love gun hunting as well (I'm a big gun nut). I've never understood how hunters can mistake other hunters for deer & thus take a shot at them, just pure negligence and recklessness. People like that should not be allowed in the woods.

#5 The self-imposed pressure on many deer hunters gives 'em buck fever and their minds do the rest. It takes discipline and patience to stalk a deer and get into position to safely shoot and get a good, clean kill. Many people do not have what it takes to get there, much less not shoot at a deer where the shot is marginal or possibly unsafe.

#6 It takes discipline and patience to stalk a deer and get into position to safely shoot and get a good, clean kill.

-Absolutely AP. My contention has always been w/other "stand hunters" shooting at folks. No excuse imo for endangering another hunter. If you can't positively i.d. what you're shooting at, don't shoot. Luckily I've never had to return fire on another hunter, yet.

#7 There is an element here that I doubt the MSM has picked up yet. The suspect is a member of the Hmong (sp) minority group. Of late there has been quite a bit of animosity over the continued settlement of these people in the upper mid west as they seemingly refuse to assimilate. If they are hunting or fishing during or out of season means nothing to them as do bag limits. When the two individuals initially chased him off of private property I'm willing to bet that racial ephitets were slung around. As to this being just a family group accompanying a hinter up in that part of the state the schools close down for deer season. A lot of the locals refer to it as "Holy Week". These were quite likely a group of family members and friends that had hunted to gether for years.
