I’ll agree with DWA, Red_Pill_Junkie and Haskins69. The victim was stupid as heck but if you cannot tell the difference between a man in a suit and a real animal, you should not be allowed within the vicinity of a gun. Even a beginning hunter knows that you don’t shoot unless you’re ABSOLUTELY sure. Charge them.

if you can’t tell the difference between an ape and a man in an ape suit, you shouldn’t be allowed to have a gun.

And if you can't tell the difference between a quadruped and a biped, then you should never even *be* in the vicinity of a gun!

haskins69 says: “This man was in furs hunting [caveman camo]; he was not trying to scare people or act like Bigfoot. The hunters should be charged.”

I’m presuming that the implication here is not that if the man was trying to scare people or act like Bigfoot, it’s justifiable to shoot him.

If you get shot in an ape suit, you were stupid for subjecting yourself to the judgment of stupid people. Which doesn’t absolve them for what they did.

I’ll add to what I said before: if you can’t tell the difference between an ape and a man in an ape suit, you shouldn’t be allowed to have a gun.

The hunters should be charged.

When you hunt you know for sure what your target is before you pull the trigger. If not, you’re no hunter and shouldn’t be there.

The owner of the gun, not the dead man, is responsible for this killing.

Anyone that fires before being absolutely sure of what they are shooting at should not only not be hunting but they should not be allowed to own a firearm.

Furthermore, accidentally shooting someone is right up there on the list of reasons not to take a shot at an alleged BF.

Can’t say I’m surprised.

What I’m not surprised at, unfortunately, is a bunch of yahoos touching off on something before they even knew what it was.

If you cannot identify your target, clearly, by species, you cannot see it well enough to shoot. Period.

Disappointing, I’m sorry to hear this.

While I’m uncertain of hunting traditions in Greece, running around in animal skins during hunting season just seems dumb in any modern culture. That being said I doubt this myth of the lone hoaxer running around the woods dressed as bigfoot in hopes of scaring some unsuspecting hiker. Those who seek to discredit cryptozoology make such illogical leaps because it is all they have.

As you said – bound to happen. My brother used to bow hunt east Texas deer in his home-made Ghillie suit. He was able to get very close to the deer before he made his shot. He wised up that getting his deer with it was not as important as staying alive. With all the bounties on Bigfoot, soon some “hunters” are going to get happy. But people are shot and killed every year wearing orange by fellow hunters.
