Been a while since I hunted with a pistol, so I'm not certain.

Having been born/raised in Ohio, hunting deer with a shotgun was all I knew until I joined the army and moved out west. Guys out here were stunned and asked, "How the hell do you hunt a deer with a shotgun?" As you said, with few trees and not much variation in the terrain, rifle bullets tend to go a bit farther than one intends.

Anyone know what the final disposition of this is, or whether or not they are even going to trial?

The deceased is a good friends nieces husband. I shot him a text and asked him what was up. This was the reply I got-

Both the actors are still incarcerated. The 23 yro who fired the shot was charged with second degree murder without regard for human life. His 52 yro uncle is charged with accessory to second degree murder w/o regard.


He said when he got some more time he would send me an e-mail with the links to a few of the news articles about it.
