I think you said it all when you made the Dead Eye Dick reference, but what did this guy think he was shooting at? If anything, a person walking dogs looks like a doe walking backward. When was the last time you saw a doe walking backward?  Also, some northern hunters have much disdain for us southerners who run dogs (well, not me, but maybe my neighbors), because of the lack of sportsmanship. He took the shot after sunset, so much for sportsmanship,. Charge him with negligent manslaughter.

Please Note: He took a 200 yard shot with his pistol.

It's a single shot hunting pistol, ergo not a noteworthy feat.

I agree.  Do you no longer need Doe Tags to kill them?  Without them, you used to have to make sure that not only did the deer have antlers, but that it had the requisite number of points before you could shoot them.  If I'm her husband, my only two goals in life are to raise the children as well as possible and to make this asshole's life a living hell.

This seems to happen more often than one would think. It brings me a special kind of joy.

Huh, I get nuthin at all on that link. And the safety's off.

Wild Boar 1, Hunter 0.

My brother in Dravosburg is one of the proud 3,000 to eat roadkill in PA. He got two deer this year, both right at the end of his driveway.
