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.

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

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?

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

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

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

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.

Response: Understandable confusion in some instances.

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.
