I think the media is going way overboard with this incodent. I am not a big fan of hunting. In fact, I wrote a card to our headmaster when I was in 4th grade who was accidentally shot in the leg as a result of a hunting accident, saying that he should not have gone hunting in the first place. It was a typical Aspie response that sent the headmaster into stitches. However, be that as it may, let me say just one thing--I would rather hunt with Dick Cheney than ride with Ted Kennedy.
I agree. There are lots of hunting accidents every day. Hunting is dangerous, and you should always treat your gun as if it's loaded at all times. I think there would be a lot less media coverage if it would have been an average person who shot another average person; hunting is still dangerous, whoever you hunt with. It would really suck having few million people knowing who you are, and then you have an accident, and then seeing your face on almost every single channel ever being laughed at. That would definitely not make my day, or week, or year, or maybe a lot longer...
