Hunting accident----something smells bad....

[Big Muddy]

There's a sentencing hearing, coming up about a father who shot and killed his 16 yr. old son, in a hunting accident....it happened last year at our federally-owned Delta Nat'l Forest, not far from here.

It happened, during the either-sex deer season, and the father confessed that he had not identified his target, and was simply shooting at "movement in the bushes", thinking it had to be either a buck or doe deer....supposedly, the son had gotten down from his deer stand, and walked to meet his father, when the rifle shot was fired, and struck the youngster, center-mass in the chest.

The feds said their investigation revealed some inconsistencies, during his questioning, which has since led the father to plead guilty to manslaughter....he is now, awaiting sentencing.

Sounds like the father has something to hide, but without a trial, it'll never be revealed....there's no way in h3ll I'd plead guilty to anything, if I knew I wasn't guilty....jmho.
