Few years back we had a out of state guy shoot thought the trees at "color" it was a girl with blond hair sitting in camp on a ice chest. He saw the blond color and thought it was a elks hind end. The lady was hit in the shoulder area and IIRC died as a result.
Anyone that shoots at what they are not 100% sure what it is,,, well I won't tell ya what I think about it. I am not even gonna say what I feel as I would be banned from this forum.
I am not talking a deer walking out where a larger one just walked into I talking shooting movement in the bushes where you saw a deer or maybe deer enter, or think maybe a deer could be, or color or anything else where your not 100% sure it is a critter you are meaning to kill, HUGE difference.
IMHO it is criminal negligence to shoot like that.
No slack for the guy from me.
Guy that shot the cow should pay at least for the cow, a large fine and lose his hunting privileges for several years at least, he has no business in the woods with a gun if this story is true as presented.
Good chance that the guy knew it was a cow and whose cow it was when he shot it. If I don't miss my guess there is more to this story than we will ever know.
