Thread: SOMEONE DIDNT IDENTIFY THEIR TARGET

A friend of mine a long time hunter told me of the time he nearly shot a tramper, He and a mate were hunting in the Southern Alps in the early 80's when my friend saw what he thought were deer coming towards him at about 400m he set himself up to take a shot his mate spotting for him through binos called to him to stop they are trampers, my mate waited and sure enough at 200m he saw that the deer he had a bead on was wearing a red Swany, I've seen this dude shoot Hare's at 400m there is no doubt that he would have hit that tramper, he was a Mountain safety firearms instructor and very experienced hunter, he said he wanted to see a deer so bad that's what he saw, the mind plays tricks on you be vigilant out there.
