Reply #49: This kind of thing happens with inexperienced bird hunters.

[Neil Lisst]

I don't know the details yet, but usually it means both guys were at fault - the shooter for turning too far left or right to follow a bird, and the guy getting shot for getting up in front of the other hunter.

Big shots and/or their kids who don't hunt often but go to the hunting locations with a lot of birds do this sort of thing. It's caused by lack of gun and hunting safety. If you don't know where your fellow hunters are, you should never shoot.

Gun accidents happen because someone got careless.
