WOW, can't believe nobody has commented on this? It has to hit home with every sportsman. I'm sure many of you have read the many page thread on this on another site that the man was a member of, so you probably have seen how the members in the know won't comment on details and jump down the throats of the ones who ask. If you google it, you can get the details. Should be on the evening news tonight since locals around there have talked about the details. Don't really know if even the news will give all the details of this very sad accident? Seeing and knowing how people react in these situations, I'm not going to say it here until the news says it. Please keep your thoughts with the family who in this very tragic time.

Wow....that really sucks. I read it last night but didn't know much about it and still don't. I did read on the other site though and saw it may get edgy over there. None of the news reports give much detail. You got anymore info than what is online splash? You can PM me if ya want.

I never was for the change on the legal hunting age. Maybe it will be looked at again?

duck hunting is a very active shooting sport for a young man like that .... its not like deer hunting where you got take you time and aim.... they come in your swing that big 12 or 10 and start barkin..... i just dont believe a 10 year old has the right state of mind to do something like that

Truely a sad story, that kid will never be the same, and he will never hunt again I'm sure. i have no problem with a kid sitting next to his dad in a blind bowhunting, but I agree duck hunting is a little to fast paced for a 10 year old with a shotgun. Splash do you remember the 14 year old that shot and killed his dad on a deer drive a few years ago in the M-21 M-13 area?

I don't remember that one, but not surprised it happened on a drive. "Hmm, we have 40 acres to hunt and all the deer must be in the 35 acres of corn, let's put some guys on one side to push the deer to us and we take pop shots at them while they are running full speed. Ooops, there were guys on the other side infront of us?" Sorry, but that's how I feel about deer drives on these small parcels of farmland around here. Way too dangerous in a lot of cases. The drives we see on tv are huge parcels of land and the "drivers" are far behind the deer, that's why the deer aren't running full speed. Troy, how does this work these days? When I was a kid it was you had to be 12 before you could take hunters safety and you had to have the card from passing it to buy your first license. Seems like they are leaving everything up to parents/guardians and in this day and age you can't do that unfortunately.
