Sad too see this happen to a young child, 12 years old hunting at Highlandtown wildlife are. I’ve hunted and fished it for many times over the years. Little information at this point….

Yeah was wondering the same. I read the obit after seeing the article and his father proceeded him in death. Family has taken a couple hard knocks from the looks of it.
Horrible too see this with anyone, especially a young boy like this.
