Yes, it was a hunting accident. The victim was shot dead and Stan has serious charges and potential consequences ahead of him.

Too bad he is not a US politician.

I still remember the Jonathan-Bouchard fight. Stan was wearing a helmet, Bouchard was not and Pierre's fists kept bouncing off that damn helmet. Does anybody have the video?

I remember the night Phil Esposito decided to start a fight with Stan. Totally had his clock cleaned. One of the all time one sided beat downs in history.

I hate playing against guys like Stan. Short and stocky. They get down low and cut you in half. Plus, Stan wore that damn helmet.

I met Stan Jonathan once for a brief moment, nice guy, but he is tough. You could see that he could take care of himself.
He is from Six Nations near Hamilton.

John Winsink was a player Cherry discovered in the A and brought him to the NHL when the Bruins hired him to coach.
Winsink was one of the toughest guys to ever play hockey, was not much of a skater, but he could do the job he signed for.

Cherry just worshipped guys like Jonathan, Wensink, O'Reilly, Cashman, etc.

Out of season, firing a rifle at something/someone you cannot see, is a hunting accident?

He fired the gun on purpose.

At something/someone not in his hunting (illegally) party.
Essentially all hunters fire their gun on purpose. The "at someone" is to be determined in court and not by you.

Unfortunately he ended up shooting and killing another hunter while hunting on a Native reservation. Reports (newspaper/radio) indicated that the other hunter was approximately 400 yards away and the deceased was not known by Jonathon. Reports also indicated that the deceased may not have been wearing a safety/warning vest.

I am not a hunter, but do know of a person who was shot and killed in a similar situation many years ago.

There are strict rules surrounding hunting including the use of certain weapons and the safety gear procedures associated with the sport. But I am not too sure if there are separate rules or if the Provincial rules apply to Native Canadian land.

The incident happened on the reserve - the only "seasons" are likely set by the Band.

Reports also indicated that the deceased may not have been wearing a safety/warning vest.

The victim was bow hunting - you don't have to wear orange.

And the Provincial hunting regs don't apply on reserves in Ontario
