Interesting to find out he was being treated for depression. Wonder what drugs they were giving him? That's been a common theme among many of the major shootings in the past 10 years. Having seen what dementia can do to a person - add in the depression/meds - makes for a very sad and very difficult to story for the the victims or Vowell's family to ever come to terms with and understand.

Part of the truth. I bet there's some facts missing in there.
Story still seems a little fishy

I fully intended on seeing a boss shells endorsement above this post

Crazy story. For a guy who just shot someone to try to do it again minutes later, this time while traveling to get help for the first guy, is insane....but I guess he was. He may have thought he had Alzheimer's but it was never diagnosed and family and friends weren't convinced. And I've heard of craziness from depression and the meds they put you one, but you have to think there was some earlier incident or sign that someone could point to. Most things like this where someone snaps, people see some sign of it coming, or at least in retrospect they do. Seems to be nothing here at all.

We may all know the story now, but only one person will ever know if it's completely true. If true, it's one of the wildest things I've ever heard.

I've been in blinds or on hunts with folks I don't know before and it's a weird feeling sometimes. Gonna be even weirder now.

I know after reading the article that it's customary to hunt with other groups out there, but I would also assume if you're in the blind drawing our grandfathered in that you're a relatively experienced hunter. On the flip side, a lot of places I hunt there is daily jackassery that I don't want any part of. I've also witnessed an accidental discharge or two and that's an eye opener. I like talking to folks I don't know so that's not it, but I do not hunt with them. I'm the last guy inviting somebody to hunt with me that's trying to setup next to me. Some folks would criticize saying that I'm not doing my part to further the sport, but I'm out when there are guns involved. The only folks I'll hunt with that I don't know are friends of friends that know what they're doing. And, I've gone with a couple of them and ended up looking down a barrel cuz they weren't careful... last time for them.

Crazy stuff that day.

I’ve seen grown men that were friends come to blows over a duck. Stupid.

don't forget about sitka.

The story seemed too complex not to be verifiable by the authorities. The location of each individuals dna etc. no way that was not looked at with 3 deaths. Some folks are just a walking theory looking for a conspiracy.
