As with most media reports, they never tell the full story. This incedent happened not 10 miles from where I work. The land owner was a nut job (In my on opinion), fired shots at a couple hunters that were "supposedly" on his land and was shot in killed in self defense.

Just because someone is on your land does not give you the right to open fire on the tresspassers. Only if they are threatening your life, or entering your residence. Think of it as the hunter's stand point. You're hunting, some nut job starts shooting at you and you are hit (even if you are tresspassing), what are you going to do? Shoot back.

Yes, the land owner fired, hit the young man and they returned fire.. Simple case of self defense. One less nut job is living ,over what? A simple misdemeanor of tresspassing...pure stupidity if you ask me.

I'm all for one protecting one's property, but within the legal limits. Pulling a gun on a tresspasser, very close to a property line is not the way to handle things. Call the police and have them remove the tresspassers. No sense in getting shot over the ordeal.
