Horse Shot on First Day of Deer Hunting Season

[BRS]

OMFG are you serious? How many beers does it take to mistake a horse for a deer? Thanks to some idiot we're going to be one step closer to bow-only hunting

OMG, tha bad part is the horse was shot in the stomach, not in the typical area for a duoble lunger....thats sad....IDIOTS!

Ok how terrible this is I have to say part of the fault is on the owners. If they know there is hunting going on around there home. Then they should be more alert.

The bullet that hit the horse may have been intended for a deer. But the hunter missed and the bullet traveled far enough to hit the horse.

If it was intentional then I would have to assume the bullet would have passed completely through the horse and there would two holes and entrance and exit. Being the stomach is not very strong and is not capable of stoping a bullet.

I guess I been hunting to long in my life to be this careless. I know what is beyond my target. Which should be a safety rule for any one firing any firearm at any time.

Bullets can travel miles in distance. The bullet that hit the horse could have been shot 500+ yds away. They don't list the type of bullet that hit the horse.

So the possible location of the hunter is unkown and unable to be determined.

Sorry I'm no hunter. More of a fisher I would like to go hunting one day though.. But why aim in the direction of somebodies house if you know your bullets can travel such a distance of you miss?

Ok the person may or may not have known that there was house in that direction.

Like I said a bullet can travel far distances. There for the hunter may not have seen the horse. It is not like the person was standing in an open field and seen a deer and shot his gun. Missing the deer, and then hitting the horse.

Most likely the hunter was sitting in the woods, had a deer with in range and shot at it. He missed wether his sights were off or it was because of buck fever. Either way he missed the deer, unfortunately the bullet traveled a distance with enough force to go into the horse. The hunter most likely did not know he shot the horse. Most likely the hunter is scared there for not coming forward about it. How ever if he did not see his bullet hit the horse then he never knew it happened.

There are many factors that can be contributed to this accident. I could write a long explanation and you most likely would still be confused over it and ask me a million questions why the person did what they did.

True true, and they said there was alot of hunters in that area... so I take it that they don't own much land? and I'm sorry... I walk my gf's parents land alot to see if I find any climbers or etc out there... if so I take them and if I would ever happen to see anyone on his land... well they better to take a hike... and yes that is a sad story but like said before they really didn't go into detail about it... which yes does leave a number of things that could of happned
