Sad Story, but good advice about ice conditions

[Winnipesaukee]

Winnipesaukee, you are exactly correct as well. That is way we have sharp shooters. At a minimum a sharp shooter / SWAT officer from the NH state police should be available, that could come and take the dear out. Even though you can never take the risk completely away of a ricochet shot...

Absolutely not. Any "qualified marksman" worth his salt would know to NEVER shoot in the direction of people.

if a sharp shooter was taking the shot, I would be willing to stand on the other side of the bay.

I wouldn't.
