Tyler Vinson says an angry neighbor shot his father behind their home on Scottish Lane in rural Baldwin County Friday morning.

"He was shot once in the stomach and once in the face," says Vinson.

Sheriff's deputies say a man loaded a revolver with rat shot, confronted the Vinson's and pulled the trigger. Investigators say the Vinson's were tracking a deer behind their home and could have possibly made the neighbor angry because they were hunting on his property.

"My daddy jumped out and said what the hell are you doing? Before he could do anything, he shot him two times and made us get on the ground," says Vinson.

Deputies arrested Robert Pickle and charged him with 2nd degree assault. The shooting victim, Randy Vinson, was transported to USA Medical Center in Mobile. Vinson's gunshot wound is not life-threatening.

Maybe the derogatory (against people from rural areas) title of this article should be titled “Backwoods Grammar.”  The word “Vinson’s” should not have an apostrophe the first two times it is used in this article.  Apostrophes are used to show possession. The only time they should indicate plurality is with numbers and symbols.

Hey everybody is there a county or state co-op,if there is this is an excellent starting place they can They can offer numbers of good people vote to sway officals to do the right thing.Use of trail cameras on people can be effective in court no matter what they are doing.what’s the deal i hear they were drinking while hunting?Why were no charges filed? use of a firearm while drinking is against the law along with driving under the influence i’d ask some one why this was not pursued.If this fellow was right on the shooting he will need all the help he can get so everybody needs to get together and go to the d.a.

Yes, Alabamaoutlaw, if you tolerate any of them they will keep coming back over and over again on your land.  I’m not waiting on “the big dog”, I’m going to scare whomever trespasses on my land. Like I said before, they will probably get away with trespasses once, but after they have been warned, then uh, they better consider themselves warned.

hey oneshot chill my name is a handle not away of life .Raised on the river know what a poacher is and more over know how to deal with scum and it’s not one on three if ya’ll are having this many problems with scum do it from afar use your god given brain .What is the law there piss poor and want do thier job Yes i am going by what was printed just like a jury will go by just what they hear.Get a posse together take down the bigdog the others will cower like sniviling cowards.If you tolerate them they will punish you everyday.

So, alabamaoutlaw attempted murder??? were you there? do you know more than what was reported? do ya believe that maybe wkrg’s reporter got this story right? what if the facts are not just that? this is still being investigated, unless the investigators share all facts with the reporters, than these facts are wrong. I know that this report is in fact untrue. This man who was shot, was shot only once, and he was trying to kill Mr Pickle, not the other way around, if Mr Pickle wanted to kill this “alabama-lowlife-outlaw-poacher” then he wouldn’t of used ratshot…

It’s called attempted murder and terristict threating ,shoot once to defend yourself if you are threatened but to shot an unarmed man twice shows your tring to kill him.And then to threaten the other people and make them do what they don’t want to do thats kidnapping remember OJ got 33 years and a shot was never fired.

if he was on that man’s property it’s called trespassing. & in my opinion he did have a right to shoot him, if he was trespassing.
