Dang, that's a pretty good disguise. Considering he was Greek, I wonder what he was really up to.

the victim was disguised in dark goat skins, which are used to camouflage and to mislead their prey.

I get a kick out all the hunters that spend gobs of money at Bass Pro Shops on camo. I've hunted most types of game my whole life and never camo'd up once. This guy musta killed his goats for his camo. He should have went against the grain and wore yellow instead.

I was once using a chain saw and a hammer and nails to build my stand in broad daylight and saw 3 deer within 75 yards come to check out what was going on. It musta been the urine scent from all the beer that attracted them.

Reminds me of the old joke about the couple eating breakfast and reading the paper. (See I told you it was an old joke!) He says to her “Says here a man was mistaken for a moose and shot dead by another hunter.” She replies “Well, I guess if he was THAT ugly he’s better off dead.”
