Deer Hunter Kills College Student, Injures Two Others

That is a sad story and is fear that many people have about public land hunting. The bad part is that it is fuel for antis.
I knew we would see this one. The guy was trespassing on land posted "no hunting", this article confirms...
Pure O.D. manslaughter, lock this idiot up for the rest of his life, he's the type that will only be doing dumb s**t like this forever, DWI, etc, etc, etc till kingdom come if a free man

First, prayers to the families. Second, I hope they throw the book at this guy. Hunting posted property near a college, then mistaking 2 humans for deer?! There is no excuse and he should be made an example to stop other idiots from following his lead. None so extreme as the victims and their families; but we honest hunters all suffer when these stunts are pulled.
Schumer's proposed tax incentive is a truly great idea.
My family won't eat all of the meat from one deer in a season. This gives others like me great incentive to process a deer and donate it. Hunger is pervasive, even in America, and we can all do a little to help!
almost missed the other articles.
Schumer pro-hunting? wow
When will they stop calling manslaughter an "accident?" He raised his rifle and pulled the trigger. Throw him in jail as a felon so he can no longer own a gun.
DARWIN!!!!!!!!!!! If you ask me, like buckhunter said, it is no accident. If you non-accidentally kill somebody, why should you spend you life using up taxpayer dollars in prison? Death sentence is what he deserves.
Nate
wow thats a pretty sad story once again hunting is given a bad name by careless individuals. its clear that he didn't have regard for the law or even the ethical kill of the animal he was hunting... my thoughts and prayers go out to the families.
In the bond hearing the guy admits to smoking dope the morning the murder happened. The police say the shot was through tree branches into an open area. Imagine that.
I have a daughter in college and couldn't imagine what the family of the young girl is going through. What a beautiful young lady. So tragic.
if you hunt safely and identify your target positively like we were all taught in hunter's safety, you kill a deer. otherwise you are a murderer! this man has no excuse! if he gets out of jail someday, will that bring this girl back? fry him!!!
Litterally How stupid can people get? He and others like him are a disgrace to the outdoor community. They are a blithe.
My condolences to the victims families. I hope they don't blame all outdoors people for one idiots actions
That's a sad story,and not to mention extra fuel for anti-hunters.If it was one person who was shot,I would assume he was shooting at movement but he shot 3,so he would have be some psycopath.
There is never, never, never an excuse for pulling the trigger on anything that you do not 110% identify. No excuses, just lock the door and throw away the key.
Well thats too bad and God be with their families, but this gives anti-gun parties just another reason to go against us.
Honestly, how can you mistake two people walking through the woods as deer? there is no way on Earth that they would have even remotely look like deer. I think the excuse that I thought they were a deer is just that an excuse. He had no clue what he was shooting at, he heard something or saw movement and fired, not knowing what or who he was firing at. Too bad firing squads are "cruel and unusual punishment", because if he could get that at least then he would know a small fraction of what this innocent girl felt.
WHO CARES? just people
ss . . .
Does your name stand for Nazi SS? Sure sounds like it.
A young woman was murdered by a trespassing moron with a rifle. Her friend was almost killed. And to you it's nothing.
Climb back into the hole you came from, and don't come back out of it. You aren't worth anybody's time.
Oh well
First of all, whoever 'ss' is should be mentally evaluated, you don't deserve to walk free if you say 'who cares, it's just people'. I bet he'd care if it was his sister or daughter that got shot. God will punish you later, I won't worry about you. Second of all, the shooter in this case should face every charge possible. There is no excuse for shooting a person while hunting, NONE. My sympathies to the family and to the poor guy that was with her and watched her die.
Kevin and T.W. Davidson.........a +1 for you both.
ss..........a -1 for you because you are an ignorant fool. Please read and re-read what Kevin said about what if it happened to your own children.
Nate
"WHO CARES? just people" "Oh well"
How would you like it if that happens to you!!!
You sound heartless and no cared for life...
We like to send prayers to the family and throw the guy in jail, revoked his hunting permit for life...
Such a sad tragedy. Prayers to the girl´s family.
Hope that idiot gets the punishment he deserves.
And they should have titled that news "Poacher kills student", not "hunter", as clearly he is not.
It is interesting SS as your profile would state that you are for "protecting the animals" you may wish to do a google search on conservation, you may learn something and understand that the animals you are trying to protect were saved because of hunters and fisherman.
My sympathy goes out to the families.
May The Almighty God have mercy on this individual’s soul for judgment is at hand and comfort those of loss and morn!
One word comes to mind,
“Pathetic! “
does anyone else think PETA is trying to destroy hunting from the inside by harassing F&S users? Its not working and it never will. SS, just go hug a tree and kiss a chipmonk, you are worthless!
I used to work in the sporting goods dept of a local farm store and I once heard a customer speak of taking a "sound shot" during shotgun season. It took everything I had not to beat sense into him. Some people have no business being in the woods. Take a kid hunting and teach them the right way.

PETA, WHERE? BRING IT ON BABY!
that ss dude, total PETA lover. just trying to get somewhere with his sad pathetic life.
He looks like a real rocket scientist, doesn't he? Say hi to Bubba in the slammer.
wvboy1022
I ignore punks like that!
Clay Cooper
I try, but its hard to ignore someone that ignorant. Just sorta sad aint it?
Clay Cooper"
Used to live near Ferrum and that "hunter" had to work to get close enough to shoot the students as the college property is substantial. Condolences to the families of the dead and wounded. Wouldn't want to be in Cloutier's boots, right now. I know it's hard to do but ignoring idiots like ss is the correct strategy. Think of it this way, if you heard someone spouting obvious nonsense on a street corner as you were walking by, would you go over and listen?
Since when have all of you become judge, jury, and executioner ?? Yes the guy made a tragic mistake, and he should and will be punished for it. What would you feel if it were you that caused the death of another??? unless the guy is a complete idiot I'm sure he is suffering for what he did. My prayers and heart felt condolences go out to the family of that young lady.
*What a terrible tragedy! Thoughts and prayers to the families.
*Schumer- interesting idea, though I am still skeptical. I eat what I kill, and choose not to take anymore than I can eat. Though it is for a good cause- not sure if the cost to taxpayers is worth an increased number of deer being taken by hunters who think..."well, i got my buck and doe this year, lets get a bonus tag for the less fortunate. Could this possibly affect deer management as a whole? Studies need to continue on this subject.
He is a trespassing, dope smoking redneck not a hunter. He should be tried as a felon on murder charges. My heart goes out to her family. May god rest her soul.
The operative concept here is "fair trial", regardless of what we think about the moron. Bubba will be nibbling on his ear soon enough......
To everyone commenting on my comments. I hope these made u very mad. U see I wanted to do this. It just displays how redneck and stupid u all are. Little do u know it, but u are my puppets and u are doing exactly what i want u to do. So continue to dance puppets. You're pathetic.
Also. please tell Ricardo Rodriguez to hop back across the border. Thanks.
ss,
You are not the first anti on this site and you will not be the last. I however find that all antis have one thing in common. Their character does not hold a candle to anyone on this site.
Buckhunter, do u ever quit showing up on this terrible sight. Everytime I see ur picture or name I just want to honestly destroy my computer. U guys are so pathetic its unreal.
Buckhunter, if u went out and got some real friends, u wouldn't have to sit behind this computer and try to make me look bad. The only reason I'm on here is to weigh in on ur stupidity. SO GET A LIFE!
And for those who didn't comment on me, thank you. At least someone on here has the sense to focus on the subject at hand.

Back in 1975, I was a Arkansas Hunter Safety Instructor, during the course this fella insisted on saying taking "sound shots" is OK, you just got to know the difference between a deer and a human. I flunked the "SOB"! He called Fish & Game to make a complaint and found out he was wanted on other wildlife charges. Guess you can't fix stupid!!! By the way, I was the only instructor in Arkansas what I was told under the age of 21 at that time, LOL!
Buckhunter, im on your side. SS you need to get a life, quit sittin behind your computer and get some friends. Go out and eat your veggies and just have a grand time. Leave us the hell alone.
Also ss do you say the same thing over and over again? I was checking your idiotic comments and seems like you have nothing new to say about Ethan3 or Buckhunter. Once again go and sit in your big city office and leave us the hell alone. We don't take kindly to people like you around here.
After I observed the deer's activities last October. So I decided to hunt them this week and found out there were very few of them present the area where I had them observation last month. Is it because the deer has 6th sense that we the hunter bring the GUN to the area. The just vanished there. Last Oct 31, I used my crossbow and caught a doe. So assumed thatthere would be plenty bucks/does out there but it was not.
We already set the corn feeder and camera out there since first week of September. I noticed more activities in October than this Month (november). So next year I will shoot bucks in October insteand of November with gun.
Im 48 years old and have been hunting for 40 years. If i know one thing, its that you cant mistake a couple of kids walking hand in hand for a deer! My prayers go out to the families!
a very strange incident and i feel for the couple
