Cool story and good for the gamie for doing the right thing. The hunters sure did.
So, are you guys fine with this scenario because it was only evil cougars? Or would you also be fine with it, if it were say, an elk, or bighorn sheep?The shooter did not make certain what was behind/beyond his target, and hit a secondary not intended target. What if it would have been his hunting partner or another human instead of just a worthless evil cougar?I understand how the mistake can happen... but it is still a mistake and unacceptable. Sure, the hunter did the right thing turning himself in, but that is what he should have done!I hope the enforcement officer who exercised discretion here, exercises it again and doesn't use this "awesome", "cool" story as an example in a hunter education class that there are no consequences for shooting a weapon and hitting an unintended target.
