I've hunted with some real wackos too! I'm more inclined to believe that this was no accident, that this time instead of telling someone to "Go fuck yourself", he shot him in the face during a heated argument.

I guess for sure Whittington is glad the VP is a wuss.

His first year there, he decided to go deer hunting in the fall. He lasted all of three hours in the field. The bullets whistled by him like in a combat zone. From that fall forward, he returned to North Carolina for the hunting season. Base lesson, those red state boys know who they are shooting at.

As for hunting accidents being rare? Depends on the type of hunting > shotgun accidents firing at birds are usually minor, but deer hunters are killed by fellow hunters every year! I got shot at once while hunting, and I had a orange vest on, so some hunters like Dick Cheney are trigger-happy dangerous fools! Plus anyone who shoots from their vehicle is a certified moron!
