The first shot

'Suddenly a gun goes off' says Wiki about the first shot.
'Mad second of misjudgement' says IMDB about the retaliating shot.

About the first shot: I distinctly saw one hunter of the other party aiming before firing. It wasn't as if his gun went off by accident. He wounded a man's head. Then the party that was shot at, shot back. So what did trigger the first shooter in the first place?

Nice movie, btw. It has some weird tension as we hardly know who the other party is. Also it's always fun to see Borgnine, Robertson and Silva.

That's the way I saw it.
