good rules, Rapaire, it'd be nice if all   "hunters" followed   them. Sadly, even when people   do, accidents happen. But most of the accidental shooting of humans on hunting trips could be avoided if these rules were observed.

I still recall the guy in Maine who got off with a slap on the wrist after shooting and killing a woman in her own back yard; he shot TOWARDS her house, which she was about twenty feet from. He thought she was a deer. Apparently the white fur trim on her blue ski jacket looked just like a deer's white tail. The locals supported him, because the couple had recently moved there from NEW YORK STATE. (Binghamton)
