@guest Everyone has there on beliefs. I belive in God. I also believe that when God is ready for you to come home he will send for you. No one knows why things happen the way they do. I do believe that the devil can play a part in death. If it was not ment for this boy to go home to God then he will be with us today. If he was not shot by his freind then I believe that he would had died a different way. It was just his time to go. I hate that this happened. Just remember that what the devil intends for bad God turns into good. Maybe the lesson here is that you should always be sure that you are shooting at a deer or what ever it is you are hunnting for. My thoughts and prayers are with both families.

@Mississippi - If he exists, I highly doubt that god cares. If he did, then why not intervene and stop the accident? I know your answer already: “But, god works in mysterious ways.” Yeah.. right. Bet you wouldn’t be reading about this if this kid hadn’t shot his friend. Its funny how god only works in mysterious ways when something goes wrong.. yet he doesnt seem to work mysteriously when things go right.

Know your target.  Don’t second guess and just shoot at the movement.  Whereas orange might had helped no one knows because it seems like the hunter in question was just shooting at anything that moved.

You know, one of the first things I was taught while learing to hunt was to be sure of your target. Never EVER shoot at movement only, because you don’t know what’s making the movement and it could be a person and not an animal. Seems he forgot that lesson.
