Hunters almost never deliberately shoot others

In a nation where the number of nut cases running loose seems to have increased exponentially in the past decade or so, I guess we shouldn't be surprised that a deer hunter killed six other hunters and wounded two more in Wisconsin after an argument over trespassing.

And I guess it's even more surprising that incidents in which hunters deliberately shoot other hunters are rare, considering the potential for mayhem with all of those armed amateurs running loose in the woods.

The closest thing I could find to the Wisconsin killings happened in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in 1994, when a local screwball deer hunter with a reputation for hair-trigger violence ambushed and killed Rochester police officer Adam Hills and Seney deer guide Don Bonifield in a dispute over deer bait on public land.

The killer, Jack Kidd, further confirmed his reputation as a disturbed person by getting into a gunfight with state police. He shot himself to avoid capture.

The author is a hunter. Interesting article.

[ElkGroveDan]

That is the stupidest headline I have ever read.

Next week he's going to write a story: Grade School Kids Almost Never Impale Each Other With Their Lunch Forks

[muawiyah]

The children pass clues about the best ways to convert sporks from a lunchroom eating implement to instruments of death.

Hunters almost never deliberately shoot others

That must make the chances 50-50 - eh?

[xcamel]

I'm glad he added "seems"....

The number of "nutcases" per capita just after the civil war was about 20 times what it is today. We just hear about more "nutcases" in general because it's what the PMS-MSM focuses on...

[muawiyah]

BTW, I wonder if the guy has given thought to locating ALL the other similar stories from the entire US and Canada.

John Muhammad ended up being tagged for killings in the PACNW, the Souf', and the DC area. Other serial killers might do the same.

When I lived in Idaho there was the saying. "There are no murders in Idaho. They are hunting accidents."

And I guess it's even more surprising that incidents in which hunters deliberately shoot other hunters are rare, considering the potential for mayhem with all of those armed amateurs running loose in the woods.

What an ignorant and insulting comment! What the hell is surprising about it?

[Proud Infidel]

Unless they graduated from Jihad sniper school.

We've far more to worry about in Islam and in the legion of broken minds left in the wake of public edusocialism.

"Hunters almost never deliberately shoot others"

Tell that to Bambi's mother, Neanderthal!

Deers are people too.

[streetpreacher]

Oh, but the author is a "hunter"; must be one of the John Kerry/Elmer Fudd variety.

[mountainlyons]

I would rather have "amateur hunters" than professional writers hunting a liberal spin to a story!

[TADSLOS]

I almost never read these threads, well except this time.

[Larry Lucido]

Another study found that Japanese hibachi chefs almost never deliberately attack and slash their customers with their knives.

[Old Professer]

Per the headline: except for brothers-in-law and the occasioal philandering "best friend."

There will be no Trolls in heaven

With my luck there will be a tollbooth.

One of my small town's most famous hunting "accidents" was really a murder. The president of my county's largest employer "accidentally" killed his wife on a hunting trip just days after she filled for divorce against him.

Not the greatest plan there.

[Kerfuffle]

Gotta watch out in da U.P., eh?

Well the MSM (mainstream media) is already in the minority illegal immigrant murderer was the real victim mode.

He is claiming they used racial threats against him (lie) and he was justified in mudering 5 (or is it 6) people.

[Qathleen]

Not the greatest plan there.

Actually it worked out for this killer, he got away with it. He is also famous for his bribes.

[fso301]

There was a serial killer in Florida taking out hunters.

[Fiddlstix]

Tell that to Bambi's mother, Neanderthal!

Deers are people too.

OMG! I'm a cannibal and didn't even know it!
Oh! The humanity! What am I to do now?

[ozzymandus]

Deers are people too??

I'm willing to assume you're trying to be funny.

[4.1O dana super trac pak]

Does the Lifetime Channel know about this case?

[Squantos]

If he's a hunter I'm the pope..........Eric ain't too Sharp !

[Qathleen]

LOL!
This story might be my ticket to the big time... My Dad always tells me to write a book about all the dramas that go on here.

[wardaddy]

no worries.

an Asian with a chip on his shoulders or in his mind freaks and kills 6 peckerwoods.

A) they were hunters so who cares right?

b) he claims they were mean to him.....laffable

c) the media is going to forget it since they can't seem to make a victim of little Mungo the Massacre boy.

d) i'm sick of this shite....what is wrong with caucazoids these days?

[spectr17]

I dunno, I had about enough crap from my older cousin one year. By god, the judge agreed he needed killin 8^)

[Squantos]

The ladies will like this.........:o)

[onyx]

LOL!
Yes, I like that very much!

[LexBaird]

OMG! I'm a cannibal and didn't even know it! Oh! The humanity! What am I to do now?

Dessert?
