Thread: Could it be so simple?

These tragic events anger me no end and I probably should temper my pesonal opinons but I aint gunna.😆

I just really hate the experienced tag put on every incident. To me they are not experienced for a number of reasons.

Yes I understand people see things differently and are happy to shoot whatever.
Each to their own. It is just an opinion.

But knowing that hunting at that time of year increases the likely hood that you will run into others where you really don't expect them, you may, for that time period at least, employ different standards for yourself.

I personally cannot fathom misidentification between a human and animal especially with the aids we carry in the hills these days. I don't understand it and have personally never seen something in the bush, I could not identify after taking my time to do so.

And yes I have run into other hunters several times. Had someone's head pop into my scope as I was lining up a sika spiker once.

So to me at least, it is stupidity, impatience and emotion causing these tragic happenings.

How to fix this issue I have no idea, but putting a scentific term around them grates me as it seems to absolve some responsibility. It may be so and some people are more susceptible to it than others I don't know.

I mean seriously. You are on a track in a high use area and shoot someone sitting on it.
There are several decisions that must have been made that go against every reasonable ethic and rule prior to the misidentification.
So pretty fucking stupid in my book.
