A woman is shot in both of her legs by her boyfriend in a bizarre hunting accident. Police say he was trying to shoot a hog.

52 year-old Lisa Simmons of Brandon was shot Saturday night in western Flagler County. She's in serious condition at Halifax Medical Center after undergoing surgery.

Police say 52 year-old Steve Egan thought he was shooting at a hog outside the couple's tent. Police say Egan thought he hit the animal but was unable to locate it when he left the tent.

When he heard a noise in the woods, Egan shot at what he thought was the hog.

Instead, Simmons was struck with the .30 caliber rifle bullet, traveling through both of her upper legs.

He may be forgiven for shooting her. But she will never forgive him for saying he thought she was a hog.

NO Helen Thomas pics, for God’s sake!

[carriage_hill]

And NO Rosie O’Donut pics either, for Heaven’s sake!

There’s a Larry the Cable Guy joke in here somewhere.

[SoldierDad]

Ah! Just just can’t make this type of thing up. Am I in before the first Helen Thomas pic?????

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Was alcohol involved?

If not, how did he mistake her for a hog?

[MrB]

All he’d have to do is state the headline and pause

“There’s a Larry the Cable Guy joke in here somewhere.”

Or Foxworthy:
You may be a redneck if you were ever mistaken for a hog.

NO Helen Thomas pics, for God’s sake!

You surely haven't forgotten 'The Hildabeast'

Here's a picture of the happy couple on their wedding day!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ankles, either, please! (My eyes, my eyes!)

[Kinder Gentler Machinegun Hand]

He should have told the newspaper he was shooting at a fox.

[I Drive Too Fast]

I’m guessing she didn’t squeal with delight ping

[carriage_hill]

Not even at gunpoint, td.

Report: "Woman mistaken for hog, shot by boyfriend in hunting accident"

Response: Understandable confusion in some instances.

[vetvetdoug]

Nobody carries a gun when they hunt around here for hogs. They use dogs and kill them with knives. They have an unwritten rule that no one carries when they are hunting the hogs either because someone will miss and hit a dog or person in the excitement of the hunt. There are a few stand hunters but most hunt with dogs.

If not, how did he mistake her for a hog?

Florida, I’m relieved, when I read Brandon I thought it was Mississippi.

[ScottinVA]

And she told her boyfriend, “Oh, no worries... next week, we’re going out boating on the bay, I’m bringing my 12-gauge and it’ll be my turn to mistake you for a mallard.”

[ScottinVA]

NO Helen Thomas pics, for God’s sake!

Wouldn't apply anyway. Aardvarks aren't in season.

[Iron Munro]

This is my girlfriend and that is my hog.

No, no - Wait a minute...

THAT is my girlfriend and THIS is my hog.

No, no - Wait a minute...

THIS is my hog and THAT is my girlfriend.

No! No! Wait! Wait! I've got it now!

This one is really my girlfriend - really.

Just ask her.....

[Ditter]

How awful on several levels. Sleeping in a tent in the woods, needs to take a pee and gets shot, that’s awful. Then to make matters worse you become a laughing stock because your stupid boyfriend tells the reporter he though you were a hog.

[Tenacious 1]

She should have shaved those legs.

Note to hog hunter: Use dogs to hunt hogs, not wifes. I think it’s illegal to bait them anyway.

[almost done by half]

The guy needs glasses or better looking girlfriend or both!

[ExCTCitizen]

He may be forgiven for shooting her. But she will never forgive him for saying he thought she was a hog.

I was thinking the same....(great minds think alike!!)

[Tribune7]

I think it would be more like “You may be a redneck if you ever mistook your girlfriend for a hog”.

[Jeff Chandler]

I am unable to make a judgement without pictures.

[samtheman]

I’m tempted to joke about it but when I think of the wound itself... .30 caliber bullet through both upper legs... wow... poor woman.

[Shady]

Sowing the seeds a a great marriage, never mind.

[seacapn]

My guess: Mr. Steve Egan was higher than a space shuttle - probably on a combination of booze and meth - when he started shooting.

[Gator113]

“Does this make my butt look big?”

[PLMerite]

"You look just like a hog!"

[SoldierDad]

In order to preserve my aging eyes, I must abstain.

[EternalVigilance]

In further developments she shot him back, and was quoted as saying, “sorry, for awhile there I mistook him for a man!”

I don't care who you are...that's funny.

Bill Clinton was out jogging with his government financed security detail when he came upon a DC streetwalker. As you would expect, he stopped to proposition her. Even using his status as POTUS, he was unable to get her price down to $20, so they did not ‘get together’.

Later that evening, Bill was escorting Hillary to an exclusive formal event and chanced upon the same streetwalker. She gave Hillary a quick look-over and quipped, “See what you get for $20?”

[UCANSEE2]

Do ‘hog hunters’ shoot at their prey from inside their own tent?

Seems like it would be an ‘expensive’ sport. Tents don’t come cheap.

"Use dogs to hunt hogs, not wives."

I have NEVER used a dog to hunt for a wife.

[reaganaut]

It’s gonna be one of those threads ping...

“I’m A Hog For You, Baby”...

[Terry Mross]

He shot her in the upper legs. He either thought it was a tall hog or his aim was way off.

[Godzilla]

Is her nick name Hogzilla?

[grundle]

[Georgia Girl 2]

Up in Duval County where I’m originally from they run dogs and then walk up and shoot them with a .45 ACP or a .50 cal. so as not to hit a dog. No rifles.

[liberalh8ter]

LOL....I believe she meant that Hillary would have to pay the $20!

[GOYAKLA]

Best punch line ever.

“If I fall out of the tree you shoot the dog!

[Slump Tester]

Does this camo make my ass look big?
