    It's an unfortunate fact that some people are more predisposed to filling in the blanks in a shape in a creative way.
    Therefore what is a deer to one person is not a deer to another. There's been a heap of research into it. Like seeing shapes in the clouds.

    Ever gone spearing flounder at night? Many people spear the sand thinking it's a flounder 10 times before seeing a flounder. They imagine the shape.

    The sooner everyone thinks "I could shoot someone when hunting" instead of "I don't get how people mistake s deer for a human" the sooner the hunting fatalities will drop.

    In hunter safety I firmly believe that everyone should be told that it is highly likely that you WILL mistake a person for a deer, and that it's hard to distinguish the difference. This will change attitude away from the above.
