Heckler declined to release the name of the suspect in the shooting of 52-year-old Barry Groh, but told NBC Philadelphia that the case appears to be a "reckless use of firearms."
Heckler said that it appears that the gunshot was not intentionally directed at Groh or any other human.
The DA said that authorities are still trying to determine the level of carelessness the shooter exhibited.
Groh was found dead on Nov. 29 shortly after killing an eight-point buck. Other hunters found the Quakertown man's body shortly after he'd called his family, seeking his son's help to carry the deer out of the woods.
Authorities say Groh was killed by a high-powered rifle, which is illegal for deer hunting in Bucks County.
