How does this even happen? "Geoff, jump off the truck here in the dark and we'll take it up ahead"... 50 meters up the track they turn round and shine the spotlight behind them "Look a deer with a rifle wearing camo... get 'em" *BAM* "Where's Goeff?"

Seriously...

I don't think it actually states in the article that the person shot was unidentified and shot 'intentionally' in hope he was a game animal?

For all we know - it could have been a genuine accident, as they do happen from time to time.... many of which could have been prevented (maybe even this one).

We have no idea what happened and probably never will.

If people simply followed the 7 BASIC rules of handling firearms, there would be NO genuine "accidents".
