I have never heard of "Hunting Pastures" before reading this article. :-?

In my neck of the woods, you have to go out into the forest to hunt deer, not to the pasture!!!

Shooting & not knowing where the bullet will stop is just stupid, at best. Pulling a trigger is something that demands knowing what lies beyond the target. NOt every bullet hits the target, People live around me & I shoot in the back yard, but I stand on a slight rise & shoot at another rise, generally pointed down. NO bullet is leaving here.

I totally agree with you...one of the first basics of hunter's education was to know what lies beyond your target for that very reason.

Very dumb hunters if that is truly what happened, but I'm not sure if that's the whole story yet :-[

I'm sure there's more to the story.
new school, in a rual area.
any place zoned for hunting should have back stops between it and populated areas. I would have to assume that if I were unfamilar with the area and no cautions were given.

Looking for rifle caseing to match to the hunters rifles?????
How about just doing a comparison of the bullet striations instead.
2 kids hit close together from possibly 600 yards away?
Gang activity at the school. Gangs have been a problem!
Sounds more like their looking for an easy way out, some patsies.

The odds of one of those hunters hiting one of those kids, let alone both and them being close together and one moveing is astronomical. Even more so from over 600 yards away.
AND being hit by a high powered rifle and still being alive?
Sounds fishy as he!!.

I am more concerned with the fact that these kids are fourteen and fifteen and in the eighth grade.

All ya gotta do is be born a month after schools start day & youll be 7 Y/O a month after you start 1st grade. An 8th grader would be 15 that way.

6+8= 14,,
I think your concerns are unfounded,

Born July 72, graduated May 91. Missed the enrollment cut off by a month.

Unless the hunters were ex-snipers shooting FMJ rounds (less lethal), those kids were shot by somebody else. Your average hunter can't hit a stationary target at 600 yards. And most hunting rounds are instantly lethal in a human sized target. Soft nose and/or ballistic tipped rounds are designed for massive tissue damage, even at that kind of range.

I've seen plenty of so called hunters miss elk at less than 50 feet, and they are a whole lot bigger than a middle school student.

An illegal alien has been arrested. He had an AR 15 type weapon.
