orange is not required for bow hunting

bow hunting is an up close sport. there is no way this could have happened, unless he was shooting at a sound in the bushes

Did he check him in?

I imagine that he was either drinking, or maybe he is involved with his friends' wife, and this was the way to end the triangle.

No! But he almost gutted him.

Real hunters don't shoot other hunters with arrows or other hunters out of trees. This should be investigated as a murder. As hunting accident is a good alibi for murder. Especially if it is his ex-brother-in-law or something.

I remember a certain Vice President who shot his hunting friend. Wasn't he wearing orange too?
