Man dressed in animal skin shot dead during hunt

A Greek man dressed in animal hide was mistakenly shot dead while out hunting wild boar for a Christmas dinner.
 

Police said members of a shooting party made up of families opened fire when Christos Constantinou, 49, moved through the undergrowth.

They are thought to have been confused by the fact the victim was disguised in dark goat skins, which are used to camouflage and to mislead their prey....

What an idiot.  Then again, I've heard of hunters, in the Adirondacks, being stopped from going bear hunting while dressed in bear skins.  Usually, they're from NYC.

Chase her.

That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

The behavior of both the victim and the shooters unfortunately squares perfectly with everything I've ever heard about Spanish/Italian/Greek/Balkan hunters.
