So, with this kid being convicted in Washington State for killing a hiker.....I wonder about youth hunting.

I started VERY EARLY as a hunter, and while I don't hunt any longer, I suspect most here are VERY SAFE.

With that being said.......I think a parent who has a child that KILLS or injures someone else while hunting should lose their priviliges forever.....

The reasoning is simple......the kid in question was hunting in the fog, CLEARLY had not seen is quarry, and SHOT anyways......this goes DIRECTLY against EVERYTHING I've been taught about hunting. ANYONE who'd pull the trigger in this instance was obviously taught incorrectly.

What do you guys think.......

Later,
