- Blaming the victim? Blaming the victim? It sounds a lot like "how to keep
- from dieing" to me. Anybody else feel this way? I would much rather take
- precautions than trust my life to some trigger-happy wacko with a gun.

- Sure the hunter deserves blame. I think the guy should pay just as much

- precautions.
