Man accidentally shoots girlfriend while hunting. Hunter says he was aiming for hog


BRANDON, Fla. - A 52-year-old Brandon woman is recovering after her boyfriend accidentally shot her instead of a hog while the two were hunting in Central Florida.

Flagler County sheriff's deputies said it happened Saturday night at the Cowart Hunt Camp on County Road 305.

Deputies said Steven Egan, 52, and his girlfriend Lisa Simmons were inside a tent when Egan saw a hog. He shot at the hog but wasn't sure if he hit it.

Egan then walked out of the tent to look for the hog. When he heard some rustling in the woods, he fired again.

Instead of hitting the hog, Egan shot Simmons with his .30-caliber rifle. The bullet went through both of her legs.

Egan told police he didn't know Simmons had left the tent.

Simmons was airlifted to Halifax Medical Center, where she underwent surgery Saturday evening. She was listed in serious condition.

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure.

They don't have any pictures of her. It could have been an honest mistake. :shrug:

Paging DR. HogFarmer. Has this ever happened to you?

[SPchief]

So you're girlfriend leaves the tent to check if the hog is dead and you shoot her and say you didn't know she left the tent? RIGHT.

[BigMeatballDave]

Damn. Omaha really hates fat women.

[TimeForWasp]

Only partial truth. She was hogging the blanket.

[kysirsoze]

It was bad enough getting shot. This headline is just brutal.

[TimeForWasp]

Hogs are getting smarter, using decoys and all.

[Rain Man]

Do hunters legitimately shoot into areas where they hear stuff and don't see it? I've never understood why you do that. It could be something that you're hoping to shoot, or it could be another hunter, or it could be a groundhog. It doesn't seem like the upside outweighs the downside.

[TimeForWasp]

It's a way to accidently on purpose kill your girlfriend.

[Dave Lane]

Was this Hawk? It could be totally explainable

[CrazyPhuD]

This is why you never get too drunk, you end up putting one in the wrong hog.

[Al Bundy]

MTG you going to jail again?

[Aries Walker]

You know, some headlines just demand that you read the article.

[Otter]

Could have happened to anyone.

[Red Beans]

Hog Farmer is in some deep shit this time...

[Inspector]

Oh c'mon.....

There are much better tasting bacon substitutes available that are a lot easier to get.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

This happened to my wife at least 6 times I know of.

Stay Down Bitch!

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Dang that UF edumaction.

[Radar Chief]

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure.

This kind of thing happens all the time and is the reason rifle hunters are supposed to be wearing blaze orange to make them more visible.

[Fire Me Boy!]

Your headline is inaccurate. She wasn't mistaken for a hog. He didn't see her and think, "That's the hog I was hunting!"

Or some protected species you’re not supposed to be shooting at.

[Chief Pote]

Hogwash

The shocking thing is the fact that some of the people who shoot at sounds actually hit something.


Or it's just a common lie/excuse they've heard in the past and thought for some reason it sounded clever.

[JOhn]

MTG you going to jail again?

:LOL::LOL:

[tooge]

redefines the term "goin hoggin"

[Nickel D]

She nearly was in hog heaven.

[Fire Me Boy!]

Mods should change the thread title. It's misleading. Matt Cassel is not rejoining the Patriots The guy didn't mistake her for a hog!

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Woman Mistaken for Matt Cassel, Shot.

[Setsuna]

Only in FL. I am surrounded by hicks.

[Nickel D]

Now she's figured out the reason why she'd always head straight for him naked in bed immediately after she'd hear him yelling "SOOO-WHEE!!".

[Omaha]

LMAO

[Fire Me Boy!]

Too fat.

FYP.

[Radar Chief]

She’d claim assault but she doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

[Extra Point]

"Hey, mister. A girlfriend that good, you don't just shoot with one bullet!"

[Omaha]

I'll bet Hawk is devastated.

Take your logic and put it in a sack mister!

This is hog hunting! You knew what you were in for when you signed up for the tent with the grain alcohol and guns.

[Sofa King]

I'll bet Hawk is devastated.

4 New holes, Brah!

[Omaha]

4 New holes, Brah!

Excellent point.

[Saul Good]

4 New holes, Brah!

All of 'em bloody.

[ForeverChiefs58]

If his aim would have been a little higher, I bet he would have gotten her one of those cool bacon coffin's that are all the rave these days.

[gblowfish]

Some guys will do anything for the savory flavor of bacon.

[tooge]

Out in the country, hogs are mistaken for women all the time. I've never heard of a woman mistaken for a hog tho.
