Twisp hunting accident

[LITTLEBUCK]

Wow, This is where I have been hunting all season except Saturday. Did see medics headed that way but had no idea this is what happened. Prayers to the family.

While details are thin on this, it doesn’t change the fact that some people have no business owning firearms. It’s a hard truth.

Thanks for the info, hope to hear hard facts soon. This happenend early in the morning, 7:00 am is when we called 911.  Too dark out for me to pull the trigger on anything in my opinion.

May not have been an accident... horrible either way

[GrampasGuns]

This is so beyond unacceptable I can hardly comprehend this.

I pray the victim survives and the idiots who perpetrated this nightmare get what's coming to them X 10

No hard facts as of yet.

Unconfirmed sources have said that victim was making "cougar" like noises and was shot in the head, but is being treated and expected to survive,  suspect in custody. Doesn't make much sense to me. Questioning whether we did the right thing not going in to aid. Only thing i could think was.

1. Im not a doctor.

2. Not looking to walk in on people who were armed and just shot a man.

But all i can think now is the guy sat for 45 minutes with a head wound and nobody nearby to talk to. I feel bad, but its hard to think rushing in on frazzled people who are armed and trigger happy is a good idea. Still weighs on the mind though.

That is a tough one for sure but hard to help someone when you are also possibly hurt. Like on a plane put your mask on first..you did the right thing. So a question I keep asking is if he was making cougar sounds at 50 ft did the shooter not see the hunter orange? Or ? Seems a little fishy to me. But I wasn’t there so who knows. You did the right thing and what was needed at the time.

Nothing at all in the news.

[dreamunelk]

What are the cougar sounds a human can make?  Why shoot at a sound?   Lets not use growls.  If you can't tell the difference you probably should not leave the city.

[Jpmiller]

Tagging for hopefully further details. Know a few people who hunt down there but all accounted for. Sad sad deal

[boneaddict]

People get so hyped up, it’s crazy.  Afraid of their own damn skin.  I hope he makes a full recovery. 

[C-Money]

Terrible. Sad to hear this. Hope the fellow makes a speedy recovery. Can't imagine how scared and terrified the son must have been.
