His intent was to shoot a deer (DUH~!!!!!!!) I am an avid hunter as is my husband. We are dilligent to make sure everyone at hunting camp knows who is out and where. I was like 20 ft from what I’m sure was a deer in thick brush, but no shootie-shootie as I could not see it and I was on MY OWN LAND and still (believe it or not) bright enough to know better. This guy DID take a shot at movement, but not intending to shoot the girl, so again...WTF does this have to do with the issue? He’s going to pay a heavy price, as will his new child who will have to grow up without a father around.
He meant to shoot whatever was in that field. It was not an accident. He purposefully neglected to verify his target. He was not shooting at a deer. There was no deer in that movement. He intended to shoot at whatever was moving and was hoping it was a deer.
He did exactly what he intended to do. He was just hoping for a better outcome.
