Exactly!
Every person I have taught to hunt, and every person I have talked to about "hunter safety" gets the same speech (and I am none too nice about it).
1. We don't shoot at MOVEMENT!
2. We don't shoot at SOUND!
3. We don't shoot at COLOR!
We ONLY shoot at targets that are absolutely identifiable (right up to the time you pull the trigger).
There must also be a safe area behind and around the target or WE DON'T SHOOT!
Anybody that can't get that straight....wants to question any part of it...or be a wise-ass, gets booted on the spot!
No excuse for this tragic event... and it shouldn't be called an "accident" either.
