Why you always need PID

[Irving]

Its a tragic situation for all involved; the shooter, the victim, and the poor grand son.

I once talked to an old man, maybe 80ish, who told me that 20 years before he had been working a bird for hours (Turkey hunting) The bird had hung up for ever just out of range gobbling. He decided to try a different strategy and quit calling. The bird shut up and a few minutes later he sees the red/white head slowly moving through the brush. When it seemed the head was clear he shot.

He had shot another old guy who was bent over picking mushrooms. The guy had been wearing earth tone clothing, all except a bright red/white bandanna around his neck.

The thing that stuck with me, was how sure he had been of his target. Not defending the guy here, but I see how elements can cloud ones judgment.

Be careful out there.

Long night?

Yep, for you...
