If this really is the true story, it's a strange one that's for sure. I would have come up with a few other possibilities before I would have guessed that he shot himself after hitting a deer.

Yea, it doesn't pass the smell test. No reason to kill yourself over an animal kill.

Either he had some real issues in his personal life, or we will never know the true story.

Friend of yours? Sorry for your loss.

If you have information to pass along it may end the speculation....but you have to admit the circumstances are strange.
