"It's apparently open season on sanity. Cops arrested a Kingsbury, N.Y., hunter last week for refusing to get off train tracks — and then holding up his hand to halt the train as he lined up a shot aimed at a deer, according to The Post-Star. "You've got to be a pretty serious deer hunter to do something like that," Washington County Sheriff Roger Leclaire told the paper."
"The shocked train driver managed to hit the brakes and stop before slamming into 68-year-old hunter Terrence T. Bruno, Leclaire said. Police said the extreme sportsman took his shot at a whitetail deer — then got off the tracks, letting the train go on its way. The crew of a CP Railway work train tipped off police and officers quickly arrived on the scene to find Bruno again on the tracks and arrested him, Leclaire said. Department of Environmental Conservation spokesman David Winchell said Bruno had apparently already been warned about hunting near the tracks."
