That relative wouldn't by any chance be his mother in law? because I can totally understand how

someone can shoot his mother in law ' by mistake '.......

Just wondering, is there any wild animals left there anymore to shoot? dose anyone monitor

what are those guys hunting and shooting indiscriminately for decades now?......

He was hunting relatives,I think, not endangered species

maybe more to this than first reported. RIP

If the hunter is the guy in gloves, he doesn't seem too despondent about mistaking his relative for a wild pig!

I like the rifle the guy on the right is holding

A home made antique

Hunting accidents happen all over the world, especially in the USA and Canada. In British Columbia, or B.C. one hunter

from Alberta shot a member of the hunting party. It likely was from a sound shot, or when the hunter heard a sound

in the forest he shot at the sound, striking his hunting partner. I got shot at 20 years ago in the same manner. I shot my

rifle into a tree a couple of times and the other hunter left the area in a hurry. In the USA, there are hunters in the eastern

states shot almost every hunting season. The main way to not shoot someone, is to make sure that what you are shooting

at is the animal that you are hunting for. It should be then main thing taught in hunting courses, and I do not think that this

is stressed by too many people. I guess this is the main reason that I gave up on shooting big game, I only go after game birds now

like grouse, partridge and ducks. Now that I am a geezer I do not go hunting nearly as often as I did in my 50s, but life

goes on.

It seems as though some one does not have a very nice mother in law.

I have 3 sister in laws, that are in that catagory, but I would not go find a gun to

get rid of them. I am more civilized, I would hire one of my biker buddies to

do it. ha ha only kidding. These hunting accidents happen all over the world where people

hunt. I certainly know it happens most years in Canada and the USA.

Sort of the ex Vice President Dick Cheney's approach to hunting.

[connda]

First, hunt for what? Wild game is pretty well non-existent except in reserves;

Second, they have 'hunting permits' in Thailand that allow you to legally carry your gun around in the jungle? For some reason I doubt it (see First question).

Hey he could have mistaken his aunt or Mother-in-law for a wild Pig Gee I have make that mistake before

[CobraSnakeNecktie]

I was up in the hills near Samoeng bicycling and up behind this small hydroelectric facility is a reservoir and these two Thai guys are target shooting.

I think to sight in their guns.

Shooting .22s with a single action rifle. Nice enough guys who looked experienced in the forest.

The strange thing was that while one guy shot from 15 meters the other one spotted the target by standing literally right next to target during shooting.

I thought wow those guys really trust each other but that's gun safety on par with the vehicle driving practices.

.....hope it was an accident....

First lesson when hunting ! Clearly identify your target

Here, my friends is why inter breeding between brothers and sisters; should be banned in the USA !

The depth of knowledge on this forum is astonishing.

Pity farangs cannot own guns in Thailand. It would be so easy to get rid of unwanted relatives, sorry i mistook him for a wild pig.
