[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1371864, member: 7123"] That stinks - Luckily, I doubt he suffered at all, given the path of the bullet and ending up in the neck. Tree stand-related injuries (which is what I would call this) are by far more dangerous than any other single aspect of hunting, whether it be falling or something like this. A lot of guys have died pulling their guns up to thier stands with a string while loaded, and the trigger hits a tree branch. When I do this, I either un-chamber-load, or put on safety and tie in such a way that when I lift the rig, the rifle is pointed down. RIP, hunter. I want to die while hunting but not this way. Would rather get eaten by a bear or wolves, so that I contribute to the cycle of life in the woods. :) And not until old, old, OLD age. [/QUOTE]
