Really feel for the family and his hunting mates.
This shouldn't be the kind of thing "that can happen to anyone..."
To excuse the shooter is a cop-out: there are seven rules for a reason, to forget or disregard any of the 7 (very basic) rules renders you unfit to handle any firearm.
Details of how this happened will hopefully come out, but will they be helpful? We can all see one of the rules have been disregarded and there are no excuses.
Manslaughter should be the only charge - careless use of a firearm causing death trivializes what has happened.
