I just talked to the news desk at the Methow Valley News and they're going to check on it with the cops.

So, I’m just hearing of this today on my return from the mountains and back to the grind of work.  Unfortunately, I happen to know the victim, he and I work for the same employer in the same line of work.  Sad news for sure.
 
As of now we aren’t discussing much of what happened as like the rest of you know, the facts are not out there yet.  I do know the individual is an experienced hunter and has been making this trip afield for years and with his two boys, teenagers I believe.  My understanding is one boy stayed with his dad while the other went for help.  Our folks have been talking with his family almost daily and he is doing OK considering the circumstance.  Again, I will not speculate on the who, what, where, when or why, etc, etc, etc,….  At this stage that isn’t appropriate to anyone involved, with time the facts will come out.

Wish I knew more or could say more, but did at least want everyone to know he is doing OK so far, but probably a long recovery ahead.  I also know it is a sad day when things like this happen, even worse when it hits close to home.  Like myself, I know he looks forward to this time of year all year long, planning every detail and making the trip afield an enjoyable experience, successful or not.  I hope somehow he is able to return to the activities he enjoys so much.

Glad to hear victim is alive and will hopefully recover. Best wishes to him and his family for a full recovery and future hunting trips.

Not that it helps the victim, but I do hope it wasn't mistaken identity of game and that it was a ricochet as the post above seems to indicate. FYI - I have a friend who only bow hunts, he has a piece missing out of his ear from a wild bullet, that was when he quit rifle hunting. On the other hand I know a family who was stalking a buck several years ago, an arrow ricocheted off a rock and accidentally lethally hit another family member. Several years ago my sister and brother-in-law were hit by a driver who crossed the center line, I still think about them both often and it brings tears to my eyes. Sadly no matter what we do in life accidents can happen, the best we can do is try to do things in the safest manner possible to avoid accidents.

A lot of assuming going on here.  :dunno: Maybe you know something the rest of us don't????
