    Horrible.
    Reminder that every single one of us can have our lives changed in a blink.

    This just bothers me. Ive got a few cocktails in me i admit… but for you to have to worry about this makes me want to puke. We may be able to disagree and even get into heated debates in the political thread, but i want you to know that if anyone here shoots their moth off about this then they are sub human. I came back to this thread just because it tugged at my heartstrings. This man had a family . Just want you to know that i dont think anyone here thinks less of this man because he was using a crossbow. Who gives a $hit about that. God bless him and his family. He is in a better place now im sure.

    I am sure I am not anywhere near the only one on here, but if I had to count the times I have literally 'almost' died...let's just say I don't think about that.

    As I said before,

    Give me a death living life rather than a life living death.

    He died as he lived- as a Man. God bless him and his family.

    Thanks for posting this as his life and your sharing this may not be in vain if others now use more caution in the woods. Certainly, I will do that tomorrow morning when I hunt with my crossbow.

    And from the preliminary, it looks to have been an accidental discharge when exiting his stand. Stay safe out there y'all.
