Hunter Shoots Deer And The Back Of A House On Tuesday

A deer hunter apparently hit his target on Tuesday afternoon, but the same shot also hit the back of a house, causing damage estimated at $1,500, according to a deputy’s report.
The house at 759 Links Mill Road was occupied at the time by Robbie Cardwell. His wife, Angela Cardwell, was in the yard.
According to the report, Robbie Cardwell was inside the house at 5:10 p.m. when he “heard something hit the outside wall.” His wife, who was outside at the time, told deputies she heard a gun shot and also heard the sound of “something hitting the house.”
The same report notes that Joshua L. Brooks, 17, of 208 Brooks Way, told sheriff’s deputies he had been hunting and shot a deer. The shot struck the deer in the neck, according to the report, but exited on the deer’s other side and then hit the home. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency was notified.

This is why I emphasize on not shooting at running deer,although this may not be the case. BUT,it pertains the 4th of our 10 commandments of firearm safety. Glad noone was hurt,this could have turned out bad

Does Tenn require hunter safety?

That is why you **must** always be certain of what is behind your target,not just in case you miss but if you have pass threw like this case. Lucky no one got hurt. :(

Not IF you have a pass through...you will always have a pass through with a rifle (although Im sure someone will want to argue that)
Im sure others have seen this too...I shot a doe with another silhouetted 20 feet behind it with a 150 gr 270. It went through both deer
and as you can imagine inflicted MASSIVE damage on the second. I never thought much about this as a treestand hunter until I got on the ground in a tentblind.
If you dont have dirt immediately behind and slightly above your target, reconsider.

My question is, "What did it hit on the house to do $1500.00 worth of damage?"

Exactly what i stated in an earlier thread---and no not always a passthrough, my 243 is sometimes lodged just inside the opposite shoulder---I try to take out both shoulders on my shots while getting lungs

I could be wrong but dont all states have something about not hunting within x number of yards/feet of a house or public road. If not then its just comon sense to at the least know your surroundings.

Common sense isn't that common:D
