Hunter Hall of Shame

Imagine stopping to snap some pictures of a bull moose along a road side when a bullet ricochets through your pickup truck—off the rearview mirrow, shattering the passenger-side window and piercing both the front and rear seats. That’s exactly what happened to an unsuspecting shutterbug last October on a main logging road north of Terrace Bay, Ontario. Fortunately, the photographer wasn’t hurt. The shooter was nabbed and charged with discharging a firearm across a road. Earlier this week, the 51-year-old Belleville, Ontario, man, pleaded guilty to the charge, and was banned from hunting for three years as well as fined $2,000.

There should be another word for the perpetrators of these incidents other than “hunter.” How about “dumb-ter?” No matter, they’re all inducted into the Hunter Hall of Shame.
