    The gentleman made a bad decision hunting on private land so its possible he wasn't wearing orange however, he should have been.

    Shooting at orange would be a bad idea. You and I are not clairvoyant so we shouldn't make assumptions.

    Know what I mean jellybean?

    Michigan had no hunting fatalities in 2014 and 2015. It is a real shame that we could not maintain that record.

    WJR said the "hunter" thought it was a deer...

    That's negligent homicide if his statement has been accurately reported because "thinking" something is a legitimate target is not the same as knowing it is.

    I have never seen a human that looks like a deer in _any_ situation. The man took a shot "thinking" it was a deer... Apparently he was wrong.

    Ever see a human fireman carry a dead deer? I have & could have easily mistaken him for a deer in heavy brush. Just sayin'.

    Hunting related accidents having been trending down for many years. Regardless, I do not believe that concern for safety is responsible for decreased hunter numbers.

    Just saw on channel 12 news the guy that was shot was on his family land. Had a picture of him 30 minutes earlier and he did have an orange hat on. Said the shooter was trespassing.

    My guess is shooter is in for a rough ride along with the family of the slain...

    Yes it is.

    It's called baiting and cleaning up and ensuring the population on your space is well conserved.

    Conservation at its finest given there is no disease present.
