...and this is why we shouldn't own firearms.

I'm not from Texas and I've never been to Texas. I like a football team from there, and that's it. You can cry and whine all day and wish there was no such thing as guns or weapons or whatever, but in the end all that accomplishes is making everyone understand just how useless you are. Come up with workable solutions before you resort to name calling and then, maybe, someone will actually listen to you instead of dismissing you as a stain in the underwear of humanity.

@HowBoutDemCowboys Youre right- now go commit suicide you worthless Texan For the record, Texas is the most worthless state in the history of America- It was the main supplier of weapons to Confederate secessionists, it made us dependant on foreign oil from Terrorist states, and it killed JFK while creating George W. Bush. I'd say Texas should be Nuked- but whats the point of nuking a place thats already such a shithole?

Let's disable the comments for articles like this next time. #5 and #11 are the only ones with any heart around here. Everyone else wants to get up on their stupid soapbox.

I really don't get it. How can any decent person derive pleasure out of harming a defenseless animal? There has to be something seriously wrong with someone who hunts animals soley for the "sport" of seeing them die by your gun.

I lived near there as a kid. "Backwoods" does not begin to describe it. He's hunting for food less than 5 miles from a big grocery store.

Everyone should own a rifle and know how to hunt.

[17]Its not like the animal is killed, and then wasted, in rural areas venison is a big huge supply for a lot of people.

[10] And pray tell, how can you be sure it would have starved to death? Do you have some kind of precognition. Animals have been dying of starvation for hundreds of millions of years. Man has been killing for sport for hundreds. Even if the deer population is way too high, there are ways of reducing it other than flying lead, ways that would not endanger humans at all. But I guess it just wouldn't be as much "fun" or as "manly" for some people.

it's stretching the term accident when you act this recklessly, close to houses AND hunting with a rifle out of a tree stand!

"Accident" is a word that too often absolves blame. This guy was hunting illegally close to a home -- that's reckless. Not intentional, sure, but reckless.

it gets sort of crazy up there during hunting season. it's best to stay away for a week. some rural parts of update don't take kind to anyone. but if you're a good neighbor, you'll be treated well in fresh venison meat. it just takes time for the locals to warm up to you and remember posted property means posted property.

The Orange Mafia strikes again. They don't take kindly up there to guidos from Queens who cause fatal hunting accidents that kill a local.

This is a terrible tragedy. This was surely an accident, but that doesn't minimize the mistake this fellow made. You have to know what's around you before you make the decision to pull the trigger. This could and SHOULD have been avoided. My thoughts are with Charly's family.

what sort of sport is it to kill a defenseless animal? Would you prefer they starve to death? How humane.

This shit's pretty common. People from the city/Jersey go to upstate NY or PA to go hunting. Usually, though, they just kill each other (which most of the locals are okay with) or have heart attacks.

"The second day of hunting season claimed one more life than anyone would have hoped for..." Not sure about the wording of this sentence.

sounds like a horrific accident and not deliberate.
