No. This was not an accident.
WTF?
Nope. Sorry.
"Accident" lets this guy off too easily. He heard a noise so he shot at "it?" Without knowing where the other member of his hunting party was? This is why I hunt alone, on my own posted property, or with 5 guys I trust at a second property.
Now, I don't know what the Kentucky hunting season is like, but here in NY, in Spring season we can only take males. Which means we have to be able to identify a beard. Which means, you know, seeing a fucking turkey!
I don't know what any legal punishment should be (though there will likely be none), especially when this man's psychic punishment will last forever. But he certainly should never be given a license again.
A hunter mistook his son for a turkey, shooting the boy to death in what authorities called a terrible accident.
Oldham County police said a man and his 14-year-old son were hunting on private property in the 2000 block of Rebel Ridge Road about 7 a.m. Sunday when they got separated.
When the father noticed some movement in the woods, he fired a 12-gauge shotgun, accidentally killing his son, police said.
Nope. Sorry.

Boom!
Got myself a nice fat spikehorn yesterday.
On the run, quartering away from me, one shot and he dropped like a stone. Instant clean kill, no chasing. As it should be.
Another year of venison in the freezer for me!
Now, when does Souther Tier start?

Be vewy vewy quiet...
One of the days I anticipate most every year is here!
Tomorrow, rifle season opens in the Northern Tier of upstate New York.
Sometime this afternoon, I will be pulling my truck up to this cabin:
Unload my gear, grab a magazine and a beer, and probably pass out on the couch.
Sometime tomorrow morning, I just may be sitting on the platform stand in this very tree, lookout out over this branch.
Have a good weekend, everyone. I sure will.
