Reminds me of the old joke about the rich lady hunter jumping up and down screaming happily ....I got a deer ...I got a deer !!! All while her guide just shook his head and said yes lady you sure did. Now just let me get my saddle off it.........

As to this incident. I wasn't there, don't know the limits or conditions and suspect that a cow moose in Saudi Arabia could be confused for a young camel. Do they have Elk in florida now too ?:o)

All joking aside modern optics and hunting shows on the killin channels (OLN and such) should make any such "error" extreamly rare. Hunters not sure of their game, it's sex and downrange hazards from their shot are idiots. These idiots create the phonebook like thick rules ,regulations , fees and harrassment by bunny cops that is driving hunters from the harvest of meat and cheap food for their families.

Stay Safe !

They set this contraption up by a fairly busy road and would go out and count the bullet holes a couple of times a week.

Man, those guys are brave. I wouldn't go near that thing sitting near a road with so many idiots driving by. They could have been mistaken for a button buck standing on his rear legs, wearing clothes. When you're dealing with morons, anything could happen!

In the late 1960's there was an incident in Colorado where an elk shooter (not hunter) shot two brothers who were riding a red Honda trail bike. The shooter shot the boy on the rear and then when the other tried to crawl to his brother's aid he was also shot. This by a guy with a scope on his rifle. I don't remember the charges, but the trial had to be moved. The shooter was from California, that much I do remember. Pretty pathetic.
