Squirrel Hunter Killed When Other Hunter Mistook Him For A Squirrel

TOWN OF HASLEY, Wisconsin (AP) - 29-year-old Xou Chang of Wausau, was accidentally shot to death last weekend when a fellow squirrel hunter mistook him for a squirrel.

According to the Marathon County sheriff's department, Chang was shot by his friend, a 32-year-old man, also from Wausau. Chang reportedly had two dead squirrels next to him on a stump. His friend allegedly saw movement and then fired, striking Chang in the head from about 50 yards away, officials say.
The shooting occurred on private land.

?? Something seems wrong here. I thought it was going to say that the squirrel hunter had a squirrel decoy on his head or something, and wound up being shot...

WTF ??????

I don't buy the "he thought his friend was a squirrel" BS, it's right there in what I posted ... he saw movement and fired.

Clear violation of Rule #4 (probably the most ignored of Col Cooper's 4 rules).

I would've been really suspicious if the victim was his wife. But I think this can just be filed under "S", for stupid.

Meh, the shooter just took Bidens advise and shot his shotgun in the general direction or the noise.

Wait maybe be thought he was being attacked by the rabid squirrel and was defending himself

This is what I get scared when I hunt, idiots are abundant everywhere.

Stranger things have happened.

Another reason not to ever hunt in Wisconsin.
