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.

Daily Horoscope for December 20

Virgo

Unfortunately, this looks like being another difficult day, and, as Mars turns retrograde, certain people are quick to take offence or raise their voices. Make sure you aren't adding to the tension by doing or saying something that's provocative or even downright insulting. If you get involved in a shouting match it will be difficult to stop and you could say some nasty things in the heat of the moment.
