The title of this article is very misleading.

It makes one automatically assume that it was from the guns they carried.

One fell and broke his head on a rock.
The other one died of a heart attack.

What is the point of posting this article other than media sensationalism?

There is no question the Omak-Okanogan County Chronicle is in dire need of a headline writer. Of course opening day of deer season is the biggest news of the month. Look at these hard hitting headlines from their "news" page today:

Omak-Tonasket volleyball match time moved up

Workshop offered on canning meat and seafood

Teen hurt when car hits cow

Winter parks schedule announced

I guess the editor got carried away when something in his coverage area actually happened.

This is 'pay-back' for the 'Snow White' joke, isn't it?

I agree: Somebody needs to get clue on how to 'headline' a news article.
.
Then again? Maybe they intended to hype some anti-hunting spin.
