Clarks Summit man accused of shooting hunter
http://thetimes-tribune.com/news/cla...nter-1.1401925
This is poorly written and there is a lack of details. I also understand it was a shotgun, not a rifle.
________________________________
RANSOM TWP. - A Clarks Summit man was charged with aggravated assault and other counts after he admitted to police he shot a man who was hunting Saturday.
State police said Joseph James Taft, 22, was arrested after the victim, Henry Krieg, 41, of Scranton, reported that Mr. Taft shot him in the face with a rifle near the tree line at 2651 Ransom Road about 7:30 a.m.
Mr. Krieg hid in the woods and called police, who said he was bleeding from a face wound when they found him. Police said Mr. Taft told them he shot Mr. Krieg because he was upset someone was hunting "their deer."
Mr. Taft's bail information was not available.

Re: Clarks Summit man accused of shooting hunter
This is probably the primary reason I haven't seriously looked into hunting. Too many idiots out there shooting at anything that moves.
Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,
and a trip to the house of pain.

Re: Clarks Summit man accused of shooting hunter
I'm going with Shodan at this point. First situation sounds like an anti hunter attacking a hunter and the second sounds like somebody doesn't like folks spot lighting on their property. Neither strikes me as proof of hunters making poor decisions and shooting each other.

Re: Clarks Summit man accused of shooting hunter
I'd have a hard time believing this was an accidental shooting by a hunter... Shooting at things that move because they heard a noise in the brush is one thing... but shinning a bright fucking light is something totally different...

Re: Clarks Summit man accused of shooting hunter
Wow. They are both lucky they didn't get killed, and I am glad the hunter's injuries weren't severe. I hope the LSM doesn't bend this to make all gun owners and hunters evil...
