It is key in the Arms Code so in essence the shooter ignored the code. I would suggest the law should suspend his/ her licence pending a retest and vetting. Death is permanent and the effect on families from such accidents are severe. I have had four mates killed by other hunters and know of others as well as near misses. Recently I experienced a situation where I let two deer go in early dawn light because visual was marginal. Shortly afterward I spotted a group of poachers who were lying on a ridge directly in line with where those deer crossed. I was still shaken hours later and very glad I had not chanced a shot. Can't be too careful.
