Hunter fatally shoots hiker he mistook for wild boar (1 Viewer)

The 64-year-old hunter, who was not identified, was arrested on manslaughter charges, according to the report.
A source close to the incident told the outlet that the hunter had feared that a boar was closing in on him.
“The hunter… was sure a boar was coming towards him through the undergrowth after his dog started barking,” the source said.
“He pulled the trigger, and the result was this terrible accident. The hunter is now in custody.”
In a similar incident in upstate New York last month, a woman out walking her dogs was fatally shot by a hunter — who mistook her for a deer while illegally hunting after sunset, police said.
The hunter, 34-year-old Thomas Jadlowski, faces second-degree manslaughter charges. He is due back in court late next month.
Wild boar hunting was in the news earlier this month when a hog turned the tables on a hunter in Germany and killed him first.

It,s always a boar. Wait til you actually wing a boar then shit your pants as it charges you then you roll down a cliff, drop yer popper and are fucking lucky enough yer dags set to the glomm while you fiddle your pistol out and nearly shoot your own damn foot off trying to set some lead in the squealer that ends up tasting like roasted piss anyhow. THAT'S A FUCKING BOAR not some leaf peepers stumbling around on shitty acid.

Probably why my sister-in-law doesn't wander into the woods. Not only would he end up shooting her, once he realized what he'd done, he'd shoot her again and pose for a photo.
