found about this on my local paper and then found this on the web:

A 67-year-old Turner man who shot and killed a hiker Friday while hunting 
for bear was on family-owned property, Marion County Sheriff's Office 
officials said Tuesday.

Where exactly the hikers were isn't specified -- maybe on the private 
property, maybe adjacent property.
In any event, the shooter, IMHO, should at least be charged with negligent 
homicide as he shot without clearly identifying his target.
