I wonder what gave him away: the little fluffy white tail or the antlers.

Tommy “T.J.” Tucker, 37, of the Crane Hill community was pronounced dead at approximately 3:05 p.m. after being fatally shot when another hunter mistook him for a deer, near County Road 202 across from the Smith Lake RV Resort.

Early in his career, my brother lived in Vermont for a couple of years. They used to get hunters passing though. One day he told me of overhearing an exchange between two of them at a gas station. It went something like this:

“Did you bag anything?”

“No, but I got off a couple of ‘sound shots.'”

What, you may ask (he did) is a “sound shot.”

It’s hearing a sound, say, a rustle in the brush, and shooting towards it.
