What a biased comment. Now we have drunken hunters, that tried to execute a
scared guy.

It was early in the morning, as some were traveling in the dark to the deer
stand. They find a guy in the stand who does not belong there and accost
him. Whether they fired or not, the scared guy shoots a couple. And from
the news report. They radio, probably on FRS radios that one of the people
has been shot. Several of the "hunters" are still at the cabin and jump in
ATV's to help the shot person. They could have assumed it was a hunting
accident. They did not bring their guns along, as they were on a recue
mission for an injured person. They left the guns at the cabin. They would
still be called hunters, as they were at their property to hunt deer, and
you would call them hunters even if they were in camp. And nowhere is there
any mention of drunkeness.

If the 8 were armed they would have executed him and not the other way
around.

If the eight were unarmed, how the heck were they "hunting"?

Get a bunch of guys staggering around in a beer buzz vs. one sober guy
scared
for his life. Evens the odds a bit. Then add the factor of some of your
buddies
getting killed when the intended victim of a cruel "joke" takes the shot
seriously and begins firing back. If you aren't prepared to see people
going
down on both sides of you and you panic as a result, the odds are evened a
bit
more.

All those missing weapons are likely squirreled away in the bushes
someplace.
How many people go hunting without a gun? Never heard of anybody doing
that,
except the stereotypical cheating husband. :-)
