Life at home for one Florida man got a lot more complicated when he accidentally shot his girlfriend in both legs thinking she was a hog.
Flagler County Sheriff’s deputies say 52-year-old Steven Egan was hog hunting Saturday night with girlfriend Lisa Simmons at a hunting camp off a rural county road in Flagler, in the northern part of the state.
Around 7:30 p.m., officials said, Egan shot at a hog and then left Simmons behind in the tent to go look for it. When he heard a noise in the woods he fired his gun again, thinking it was the animal.
Unbeknown to Egan, Simmons had also left the tent to pick up loose oranges that had fallen from trees on the property. Instead of hitting his wild target, Egan struck his girlfriend in both legs with a .30-caliber bullet.
“He saw a hog and thought he shot it and went to look for it,” Maj. Steve Clair with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office told ABCNews.com. “He heard her and thought it was a hog and just shot.”

You shoot at a noise and your gun should be bent around your neck.

You shoot at a noise and your gun should be bent around your neck. Yes. I was surprised by the lack of charges.

I don't think he actually thought she was a hog. He shot at a noise he heard and it turned out to be her.
It was totally inexcusable.
When I was hunting there were several people on my list of people I wouldn't allow to share a 100 acre tract with me. You can't cure stupid, you just have to avoid him..

Am I the only one whos sees a Javelina in this article and not a wild hog?
I seriously doubt there are any javelinas in Florida.
Idiots at ABC know nothing of hunting, just grabbing the first google hit on wild hog pics they could find.

I’m sure you’re right, I don’t hunt either of them so I wouldn’t recognize the difference.
