"A hunting companion, who didn’t have waders on, remained in the boat, where the other man’s shotgun lay on the floor.
'The dog apparently jumped back there and hit the trigger of the gun,' Taylor said."
Likely story... blame the dog. Woof.- skored, on 10/12/2007, -1/+50Exactly. I don't know who is dumber - the guy for making the story up or the cops for believing him :)

- AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -14/+11So this guy's hunting buddy was smart enough to split and let the dog take the blame. Cheney could learn a thing or two.
- p0und, on 10/12/2007, -8/+5this guy should have set the saftey on his weapon when he put it down. this one looks like a darwin candidate.

"The incident is the second death this month in a Midstate hunting accident. The other was a deer hunter who was mistakenly shot by his brother outside White House." - ngonzales80, on 10/12/2007, -15/+5To everyone:
A guy ***** died! Have some respect and save your stupid jokes for another story. - AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6@ ngonzales80:
Sad, yes, but he forgot to unload after being finished for the day. Every hunter should know this, especially one who took the safety course. I knew that BEFORE I took the hunter course for Oregon. Unload to prevent accidental misfire. The safety isn't enough. - macmcrae, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3This is the most unfunny collection of replies about a dog killing his master I have ever read. I hope the funny diggers come back from their weekend vacation rested and ready for work.

People die in car accidents everyday because they didn't do something they were supposed to. Should we laugh at them too? - Nudar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5"The incident is the second death this month in a Midstate hunting accident.

White House is a city in middle Tennessee. - RobotKing, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2You're really supposed to hunt ducks with shotguns? I'd rather use a smaller caliber rifle, so if my dog shoots me I'd have more of a chance.
- ngonzales80, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2After reading the comments on this story and finding that my comments have been dugg down. I'm starting to think that I am not in the correct demographic. How old are all of you? 12? 13? Maybe 15 at most?

If I owned a convenience store and a duck came in, took a bag of bread and left, I'd just let it go. /poorly quoted Mitch :) - sideshowRAHEEM, on 10/12/2007, -0/+29@Pitfan
"I often find that a ducks opinion of me is dependent on whether or not I have bread."
RIP Mitch - Atomic1fire, on 10/12/2007, -20/+5Who cares that the guy was shooting ducks
I am guessing you think fishing is
Doing dangerous and insane things to fish including but not limited to hooking them and scalping the skin off and then removing organs and adding bread and making fish sticks or preparing them to be a trophe
and deer hunting is killing innocent Bamby's and preparing them to be used as a trophe or eaten
and bear hunting is killing Innocent bears and using them as trophies
its called: a sport, tradition, and animal management - sicc, on 10/12/2007, -14/+32@ Atomic1fire
"its called: a sport, tradition, and animal management"
A. Putting fake ducks in a lake, blowing on a whistle that sounds like a female duck, then taking your shotgun and blowing the duck to pieces when it comes to get some duck pussy isn't a "sport". More like something to keep moron rednecks busy while they drink their beer and talk with their buddies. A sport is: basketball, football, soccer, you know, stuff that actually takes skill and physical ability.
B. Tradition? Maybe in your family. It's 2007, not 1907, take your ass to the grocery story already.
C. The most idiotic part of your entire statement. I think humans are doing just find in the "animal management" area. How many animals do we manage straight into extinction per year? Yeah. - BlackAdderIII, on 10/12/2007, -15/+9Jesus, if you're so convinced that ducks should be treated as if they're full emotional beings and not "murdered", consider this.
Every mating season, male ducks gang rape the females. That is how your next generation of ducks are made. Also, ducks of both genders regularly "murder" poor innocent insects and underwater worms and stuff.
So you see, they're asking for it, really. It's a kindness to end their ducky tyranny.
Also, I ate a piece of a duck this morning from a local store in a "Hoi Sin wrap", it was lovely. Did a fairy die when I told you that? - khag7, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13nobody said we should treat them as humans. he's just pointing out that its not a sport, not a tradition, and not needed for "animal management"
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 08/11/2008, -5/+13It's just an excuse for very insecure little men to project the impression of power over the powerless and defenseless.
- TomRitchford, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16You miss the point entirely. I have no problem with animals dying for humans. However, I have a lot of trouble with humans who kill animals for entertainment. What sort of person kills for fun?
- BlackAdderIII, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Being killed suddenly, with a gun, at a lake doesn't seem that much worse than the
slow, imprisoned, atrophying, miserable death of most animals we kill to eat, and most of us
cause our own little mountain of *those* deaths every year of our lives.
If anything, the second thing seems worse - like a gitmo for animals, if you will.
I fail to see how anyone who would eat store-bought birds could see shooting
wild birds as worse, and I eat store-bought birds.
If I thought killing animals because we want to was wrong, I wouldn't eat them personally,
because that's the basis of eating them - we don't need it to survive.
Not that I do anything akin to hunting myself, I just couldn't sit on my ass as someone who eats fried chicken etc. - or any other animal that's suffered with 2 inches of breathing space all its life and think I was better than these so-called "rednecks". - mancat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Digg is ruled by clueless city boys.

- drizek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Ya, they dressed a dog up in a hunters outfit and put a loaded gun with the safety off on its back. The gun fell off the dogs back and shot the guy. Pity he didnt win a darwin award.
- dielawn, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1wtf???who pulled the trigger???dogs dont have fingers!
- Broccoli, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i can see how this could happen, although the odds are one in a million it can still happen.
- ohhhL3ThaL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not uncommon that a dog gets shot by accident during hunting.
Uncommon is that the dog did the shooting as well, but... it's a dog, I really don't see how people can expect a dog to know gun safety. - jetfuel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10This was no accident.
- Misogyny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Nope. The dog planned this for months...
- Archimboldo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2During those months, the dog probably fumed over eating the same damned Alpo day after day.

- brusty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4My uncle was actually shot at close range when one of his two hunting dogs pawed the trigger.
He was in the hospital for a year & had a live-in nurse for another year. His heart stopped four times and he was revived.
He is alive and well, some 35 years later, but has very little intestine & massive scars on his lower torso.- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Which begets the question: how many of those heart failures were caused by the live-in nurse?

- jebadiah, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5im pretty sure it was George W Bush corrupted the mind of the dog because of the war in iraq and made the dog think "no ducks for blood". so the dog had to shoot someone. so i blame George W Bush.. cause everyone blames him for everything.

"The shotgun fired and blew a hole through the side of the boat, striking the man in the water in the lower abdomen, he said."
If the hole was in the side of the boat then obviously it struck him in an area above the surface of the water.

- Reaganomicon, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Nice to see hunters get a taste of their own medicine. I would have a tiny bit more respect for them if the animals could put up a fair fight, as it stands now hunters should be ashamed of themselves, killing innocents for no reason other than to bolster their ego and pass the time.
