mordorbund Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I was going to withold judgment until I saw some pics, but according to the article she doesn't look like a piggy, she just sounds like one.Egan heard a noise that he thought was similar to that of his prey. He took a shot at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dravin Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Do wild pigs make any nice ladylike sounds that we can be proud of being compared to?People walking through the brush can snap twigs or rustle leaves just like a hog can. I'm not sure stepping on twigs is a lady-like sound but it's certainly not, "You make pig-like noises". At least not outside of a hyper-technical sense that it'd be silly to be offended by. Likewise if someone was a bit winded from traipsing about and breathing a bit heavy. Or the same from allergies. Not sure being a touch winded is lady-like, but it's the same scenario as twig snapping. Likewise with allergies.My main point is she could have sounded like his prey without oinking, squealing, or grunting.

annewandering Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 If that was the case then he was in the wrong simply because anything could have made the noise. People who shoot at noises should have their guns taken away permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NadiaStar Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Poor man. There is no correct wording for an apology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annewandering Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I am not sure you can apologize for shooting a g/f claiming she sounded like a pig. If it were me, I am, if I were a liar, thinking I would claim to have been sleepwalking and dreaming of hunting. Or. hmmm semi-woke up dreaming she was being attacked by wild pigs and was only defending her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still_Small_Voice Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 This is a sign of a lack of proper training. When hunting you never shoot unless you know what your target is and what is beyond your target.Please, anyone reading this, if you own firearms get proper training. Just because you bought a firearm does not mean you know how to properly use it. You can end up in jail or worst, negligently kill someone you love because you mistake them for an intruder or an animal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annewandering Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Common sense should tell you not to shot at sounds but apparently common sense is not always available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
