"Could it have been avoided.....yes.....probably by both sides."

Did you not see that I said this??? It was an accident....accidents do happen in bird hunting...especially when someone doesn't do what they are supposed to and expected to do. Should Knight have seen him make the mistake, maybe, I wasn't there and neither were you. All I know is that the guy took responsibility. My opinion on this has nothing to do with being an "IU" guy BTW.....I am much more level-headed than that!
