Marvin C. Miller, 26, of Middlefield, was hunting near Snake Forest Road in North Harmony around 11:20 a.m. when he thought he spotted a deer, but it turned out to be a brown pickup truck, Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. He fired his 7-mm. high-powered scoped rifle at the truck, striking the front fender of the driver’s side. Sheriff Joe Gerace told The Post-Journal Miller was “absolutely irresponsible.”
“Firing this weapon at first blush with no target, it’s absolutely irresponsible,” Gerace said. “It’s very concerning. We should be able to get through a hunting season without tragedy. This kind of thing just shouldn’t happen.”

Thought this was a story about Hillary Clinton ? Sorry, my bad !!!Ray!!!
His license should permanently be revoked.
So, he had a scope, yet shot a truck. No more guns for you, dude!
jns...............Better give him a Breath analyzer test.........
When I lived in WNY Rifles were banned for Deer Hunting and you could only use a shot gun with slugs. Must have changed the law
If it was me I would mount the truck’s quarter panel on the wall of my den.
Oh my god, get him out of
the woods for good!
I wish this guy would hunt in Chappaqua New York
