I'm about to take the family on a walk around Canadice Lake and this story makes me question my decision. We wear bright colors, but still...and this is what gives hunters the reputation of being a bunch of outlaws. When you have a gun in your hands, one bad decision can mean somebody's dead. We need to own this as a community and call out poor judgment. 

I do not take my kids hiking at all during gun season.  I feel like your gambling on your kids lives, there are just to many idiots with guns.  But I would not be surprised if this guy was so mad that the lady and her dogs chased deer away that he fired a shot at her..  Incredible

Many of these cases turn into some type of murder charge because it’s not really an accident to do what he did.

Even if it was an actual deer he was obviously just shooting at movement which is horribly unethical never mind what actually happened here

If his intention was to kill something when he pulled the trigger it wasn’t an accident.

That's sad going to ruin it for everyone there are idiots everywhere a person standing upright looks nothing like a deer IDENTIFY YOUR TARGET 

[CharlieNY]

These types of occurrences are properly referred to by the DEC as shooting incidents. Pulling the trigger on a gun is not an accident, it is an intentional act. As such, the "shooter" is criminally responsible for his/her actions. I'm sure some criminal charges will be brought against him and rightfully so.

Waiting to see a follow up story on this Idiot . 200 yard shot with a pistol 40 minutes after legal hunting hours .  Couldn't tell the difference between a person and a deer . The shooter needs to be charged ! It gets dark fast after legal time and to think there are hunters that want to be able to shoot 1/2 hour before sunrise and 1/2 hour after .

I agree with you 40 minutes after sunset is not good at all!This makes a person think did this happen at 5:30 or was that when the call to 911 was made?This shows poor/unethical and unresponceable Gun Handler/Hunter.

I hate that they refer to this guy as a hunter in all the headlines.  Shooting at movement in the dark is poaching and not hunting.

Exactly, once legal light passed he crossed into the realm of criminal activity

I hear you Eddie.  No excuse.  

We shoot half hour before/after here in Vermont.  Only 2 injuries so far this year, and they were both in broad daylight!

Hmm I always worry about hunting gun sesson on state land  because of trigger happy idiots like this funny thing is seems  like most of them are  happening on private land and even worse people that  know each other . 

[LetEmGrow]

There is an update to this. Wait until the 1:33 mark. You'll be appalled.

[Hunter007]

The time this exactly happen may not be exact the shooter was the one to call 911 and he tried to save her by putting pressure to the wound .

 The guy still is a idiot probably not a killer at least from what I read if it accurate

What a shit bag you can just by the house, and that’s not a knock on low income folks. You don’t need money not to leave trash all over and around your front yard.

I thought it said he had a 24" barrel but it didn't. ether way the guys a p.o,s  

[philoshop]

Very sad. My heart goes out to the family and friends. This shouldn't happen, and it certainly shouldn't be blamed on a "hunter".

I happen to own a "Thompson center-fire". That's not what I call it, of course. It doesn't strike me as the type of weapon a novice would buy for deer hunting.

Not to hijack but , last time this   came up and I searched 30 some states for their deer hunting hours I could not find one that wasn't 1/2 hour prior / after . 

All the states that boarder NY, the mid West states so many wish we were , out West all 1/2 hour each way .

If it was an issue then tell me why every other state allows it ? 

Ill wait , tick tick tick ......

An innocent life was taken because of a reckless criminal, NOT a hunter.  NYSDEC can try to twist the truth by calling it a "shooting incident" or "hunting accident", but it was a crime.  

Sadly the more they call this criminal a "hunter" it erodes respect and support  from some non-hunters.  Law abiding, safe and ethical REAL hunters are penalized because of this criminal.
