This is not true according to Indiana Hunters I've heard from. It is the
responsibilty of the shooter to know where his fellow hunters are before
shooting. The usual custom is to wait for those retrieving birds to join
back up with the party before resuming the shoot.

I did get to read the pdf file published of the actual shooting report. It did
have marked that both shooters had on orange jackets & hats. Cheney
just got very careless.
