Uh oh, another long range shooting thread.Hunting "accidents" where someone is killed should be prosecuted as manslaughter or negligent homicide at a minimum and loss of hunting privileges. Targets should first be identified as the correct species AND as something you want to kill before knocking an arrow or chambering a round. Theres no reason to fire blindly.

I do -- as I remember his partner shot low and missed the apple
Biggest thing that caught my eye was the Environmental Police were at the scene??? Bet they were a big help.![]()

I do -- as I remember his partner shot low and missed the apple
on his head. I think there might of been some alcohol (apple cider) involved prior to the shot.
I had those same pictures posted on a bulletin board for years along with other not so smart hunting stunts people had pulled. It had an article attached to it and I really did think that's kind of what happened. Been a long time ago , probably early nineties so I could have it wrong. I tried to find the whole story and pictures but I've moved so much I've probably lost them. Maybe you still have the real skinny on what happened? If so jog my memory if you can!!Well!
That's Not The Story I Read About But LOL!
Well I just found the story on the internet. I did have it wrong. His buddy was trying to shoot a gallon can off his head not an apple.Well!

He confessed later on that they had all been drinking.
