Sorry does not cut it.

Terrible. Perhaps I'm in the minority but I feel that negligent homicide should be the charge when one hunter shoots another when mistaking them for game. Inexcusable in my mind.

***Yep, that or manslaughter or something similar, but certainly not: "Oops, I'm sorry I made a booboo!"

The victim was 18' up a tree, more likely scenario is that instead of mistaking him for a deer the shooter shot at a deer that was silhouetted on a ridge without an adequate back stop. Still negligent and inexcusable.
