That is really bad news and I am sorry to hear that. Safe hunting is no accident and being trigger happy in the woods simply does not pay off. I normally hunt on private land but there are always poachers and trespassers around so you never know if it could be them or you.
Each year I take some new friends out water fowling over decoys in open deep water in a small boat for diving ducks. It is an extremely dangerous adventure getting out there and back without having to worry about firearm incidents. Each year I have to be adamant that you do not shoot unless you are safe, even under duress. If a hunter makes a serious mistake, I never invite them out with us again.
Sorry for your loss, sigdizzy.
