    BIG TANCOOK ISLAND, N.S. — RCMP say they have ruled out foul play in the death of a Halifax man who was shot while hunting on Big Tancook Island.
     
    Cpl. Dal Hutchinson says police are investigating a hunting accident and are not investigating a homicide.
     
    However, Hutchinson says police are still looking at possible firearms-related charges as a result of what he calls "an unfortunate incident."
     
    RCMP have said two men were hunting deer on Friday when a 52-year-old man was shot and killed.
     
    Police say the men knew each other but were not hunting together.
