On the Web site of The Charlotte Observer, Scott Denham, an avid hunter and
shooting instructor, commented: "One of the cardinal rules of any bird
hunt: Don't shoot low birds. Why? It is more difficult to see birds against
the ground than against the sky. ... This happened when Vice President
Cheney shot his partner on Saturday evening.

Denham continued: "Cheney's hunting party broke several basic rules:
too many in the hunt party; no dog, or at least not having the dog retrieve
a downed bird ... shooting at a low bird and not being aware of the
placement of his hunting party members."
