Wow … this is the second time a hunter has shot another hunter in CO in less than a year … a WV hunter was killed in GrandCo in November … Texas man dies in hunting accident in southwest Colorado … https://t.co/gbdwnraJwa

When I was a child in Colorado (ca. 1960), the antics of out-of-state hunters were something of a running joke, albeit a grim one, among the locals. There were usually several fatalities every season, along with all kinds of other stupid stuff. In those days, hunters actually did strap their kills to the hoods of their cars, exposed to dust, wind, bugs and the eyes of deer-loving children, all the way home. Our neighbor, Art, said he wouldn’t be surprised if one of them showed up with another hunter tied to his hood. One guy did show up at an inspection station with a dead burro on his hood. He was arrested and swore to high heaven that he thought it was a deer.
These long-ago observations are at least part of the reason I don’t let strangers hunt feral hogs on my land. Going after a dangerous animal like a hog rather than harmless deer would probably magnify their stupidity by an order of magnitude at least.
