This is copy/pasted from another forum. The author does guided night hunts with thermal and night vision.................
Had a couple in last weekend, experienced hunters from the Midwest. We were hunting a dairy, with cows in a pasture. Cows were off to our right, 500 yards+. 8 pigs were directly in front of us that came from the woods to our north 800 yards to a pond. We stalked to within 60 yards.
We set up, shots fired, pigs run straight back to the woods, 3 down before they get out of sight. The husband, pivots to his right 45 degrees, lines up on the cows and fires....TWICE!! Im screaming CEASEFIRE!! He looks at us and says, "Those are cows". His wife and I both say simultaneously "WHY DID YOU FIRE?" "I don't know, I knew they were cows, I just got excited." The following day we talked about it a bit. He still couldn't explain why he shot, he said he knew it was cows, clearly but said his trigger finger just 'did it'.
One cow down, one round unaccounted for. (I found a wounded cow in the same pasture the following night.)
He paid $2000 via PayPal as we stood over 'Bessie" in the field. $1000 per round. One pig crawled off in the commotion, so they ended the night with 2 pigs and 800lbs of beef..
Farmer told me to bring him back and give him a full clip... At 1k a cow he said he could shoot em all night if he wanted...
:no :no :no
Wow!
Idiot.
