Taking Camo Too Far

[mrjarrell]

It can get ya killed, as this guy found out.

From The Telegraph

Police said members of a shooting party made up of families opened fire when Christos Constantinou, 49, moved through the undergrowth.
They are thought to have been confused by the fact the victim was disguised in dark goat skins, which are used to camouflage and to mislead their prey.
The groups had fanned out in pairs of two to track down an animal for the traditional festive dinner when the accident happened.
Police in the northern Greek town of Nemea, Chalkidiki, said Mr Constantinou was pronounced dead upon arrival at hospital.
Two unidentified men, aged 25 and 28, were detained and were being questioned.

What happened to identifying your target?

Maybe they were hunting goats?

Thats a real shame. On the other hand, im not going to run around in a brown Carhartt jacket durring deer season. I have half a brain. Be careful of the other idiots out there when in the woods!

I'm guessing he may have even survived his injuries, had they NOT field dressed him, before the EMT's arrived!

Okay, there are people that deserve to be shot... I remember a few years back there were reports of a guy going around public hunting areas wearing a deer suit.

I was debating on asking whether or not they ate him, then I read this.

Goofy planet upon which we find ourselves.

I'm thinking they may want to reconsider this practice!

Similar incident happened to a couple kids still hunting the woods adjacent to my father's property a couple years ago. One was wearing a brown carharrt stocking cap and the other didn't confirm the target. Two wrongs equals one tragedy.

It's okay if you like to pretend you are a pretty pretty sheep
