A hunter shot 2 family pet pigs
The hunter asked permission to hunt on the property by leaving a voicemail. The family tried to call him back to deny permission and couldn't reach him
The hunter, thinking they were wild boar, walked right up to them and shot them point blank.
Hobby farmers sent 2 new piglets to the devastated couple. The hunter was never charged as he didn't break any law except tresspassing
Most Viral Edit: Thanks for the updoots! I hated posting this because it broke my heart. There is a happy-ish ending sort of at least. I'd like to see a law created to place more due diligence on the hunters. Don't send nudes. My wife will kill me.

Can I live in your house and screw your wife? If you don’t respond in 30 seconds the house and wife are mine!!
MitchellLaramie
So... this guy shouldn't be allowed to hunt anymore because he's a fucking idiot!
smtxom
Guy they met at Farmers Market called and asked perm to kill what he thought were wild boar on their prop and did so before getting the ok
ProperHomeless
Letting off rounds on someone else’s property without a confirmed ok sounds like a fast way to get shot..
DrNoMeansNo
Non-hunter from a mostly wild boar-free country. Even I can tell the difference.
Pawnderlust
That's not how fucking consent works

There's no law against shooting someone's pets? What? Really?

Sue the fuck out of him.
ChorizoPig
How did he not break any laws? He shot someone else's animals while illegally on their property.
ucfh
You don't walk up to wild boar. He knew what he was doing.
KraftyKev
Thinks they are wild boar.... walks up to them to shoot point blank. Fucking idiot
ILikePugandFrenchiePictures
Just gonna put this out there. No one accidentally goes shooting peoples pets in places with a castle doctrine. You know that shooting
ILikePugandFrenchiePictures
at someone's house grants them full legal right to shoot back... you aren't going to fucking do it.
Blahbahblahblahblah
If he knew the couple well enough to leave a voicemail, wouldn’t he know they have pet pigs? I’m confused...
ILikePugandFrenchiePictures
Also, it says they were shot point blank feet from the home. That is at A MINIMUM reckless endangerment.
ILikePugandFrenchiePictures
I forget the exact distance, but there's minimal distance for legal hunting around residences which this is waaaaaay under.

What wild boar wears a tutu?

Talented ones!

Okay how the fuck it not against the law to just go to someones property and kill their pets?
Markuspsyches
Cops do it all the time. Maybe this guy was pretending to be one.
gman41750
It is!
RoamingEast
must be legal. cops do it all the time.
destinoz
This happened in Canada so maybe things are different, but trespassing in rural areas of the US is a great way to get shot at.
onlyhalfghost
Depends strongly on what part of Canada. Rural (esp. northern) Ontario or Alberta, still likely. Rural BC, you'll run into a grow-op first.
macbob365
Which will get you shot at...
justlivinandlovin
Non hunter here asking what wild boar would let you walk up to them and shoot them at point blank range? I believe the answer is none.
whatupcorgibutt
Honestly, he should of known. It’s so obvious that I feel as though he knew but didn’t care
spankbox
Ask Marshawn Lynch amd Bear Gryllz
gman41750
Even a non-hunter know better for crying out loud. There are hunters, and there are idiots who hunt. Big difference
chloramphenicolderivative
hunters and huntards
Tentrees
Hunter here. You do not even APPROACH wild pigs they'll fuck you up for breathing the same air as them.
justlivinandlovin
So, what I think I'm hearing is, you don't approach them, but they will approach the shit out of you. Got it! Thanks.
Tentrees
Even if you're on horseback! Wild pig don't care, wild pig got things to eat. Like you and your horse.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
You would be correct.
checkusername
Can we stop calling them a hunter please? This person is a complete idiot. As a hunter, they don't deserve to be called a hunter.
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
My aunt's had two dogs shot on her property that backs up to state land by people who thought they were deer. Some people shouldn't hunt.
gman41750
MANY people have no business even touching a gun. They ruin any chance of getting permission from landowners etc etc
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
Christ... Dumb fuckers shoot whatever moves. If you can't tell what it is and what sex it is don't feckin shoot it!
YourMemeKing
Without more details, that's a very different story than this one. Dogs could be mistaken at a distance
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
So you're saying it's easier to mistake a dog for a deer than a pig for a different kind of pig? Are you an idiot or just spoke without thin
gman41750
Answer: idiot/fool/moron
gman41750
NO IT’s NOT!!!!!! you don’t shoot unless you’re positive! I can identify a duck flying at 300 yards easy , a dog or a deer??? Please
usersubbordercontrol
How big were the dogs, because when hunting, you can't shoot if they're too small
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
Andalite
What kind of fucking person just decides "ah, well, I left a voicemail asking for permission so that's definitely the same thing as being
phistrong
I heard it is 'Better to ask for forgiveness than permission.'
Ringshadow
The kind of fucking people that caused someone I used to know to paint HORSE on a fucking BELGIAN DRAFT. 2000 pound animal = white tail??
ActionJohnnie
I left a voicemail for permission to fuck his wife. Didn’t even get charged with trespassing and left him a cream pie for dessert
arghnard
This is my rifle this is my gun. Fuck everything I'm shooting shit.
Andalite
given permission"? He knew what he was fucking doing. There's no reason to dodge their calls, emails, and messages on social media if he
Andalite
didn't realize what he was doing was wrong at every level. What a cunt.
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
Actually, that counts as animal cruelty which is against the law in Canada. Punishable up to 5 years in prison.
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
Since he was trespassing he willfully committed the offense.
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
Honestly maximum is not long enough imo.
mooseboots
Amen, homie!
derpaderps
x2 + trespassing, more than 10 years. Better than nothing. Lemme just walk up on someone's yard and kill their dogs. "Oh, ...coyotes?" dumb
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
I think the thing that kills me the most is that the first one probably died with a smile on their face thinking he was friendly.
teknosapien
My uncle had a dairy farm upstate New Hampshire. His cows were shot on a regular basis during deer season by out of state hunters.
Darkspire
I hope he plugged some of the bastards.
teknosapien
Few of them got nailed with rock salt from a 10 gage shotgun. And yet another few actually ended up paying for the cow.
Darkspire
They all should, I am sure I don't have to tell you those buggers are hella expensive.
teknosapien
It got so bad he started painting large orange circles with a diagonal line through it on the cows.
avervetmonkey
How kind! These deers have bright orange targets painted on them!

You dont, assholes just want to shoot something.

Shitty people sometimes just want to kill something. Doesn't matter who or what it is.
TehMightyEngineer
What.

We have, 'POSTED,' signs all around our property line to protect our horses. We've been lucky so far.

demosthenes89
Wow, at least he's remorseful, but that guy should never be allowed to handle a firearm ever again. What a fucking idiot.
SubiBryant
Whelp that's awful. Thanks for tracking it down anyway.
PsycheClone
He probably called after spotting them, and didn't want to lose them.
[deleted]
[deleted]
PsycheClone
If he waited or took the call he would have lost the opportunity. He's a prick.
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
I don't care when he called.come on my property without permission with a gun the first thing you'll see is the sherrif's car.
demosthenes89
Correct: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/pet-pigs-shot-navan-1.4422727
dontmagpie
"lose" a pet potbelly pig that doesnt even run from the sight of you?
PsycheClone
Right, but the "Hunter" didn't want to miss the opportunity to kill a pig.
Whatisthisafontsizeforants
He shot them point blank. In a pen. There is nothing justifying or explaining his actions. Other then he being a shit "hunter"
PsycheClone
That's what I'm saying....
Whatisthisafontsizeforants
Then we might see the wording differently. Because it seemed to me like you were excusing him.
smtxom
Don’t know why you’re being dv. This is probably exactly what happened. Guy is def at fault tho
PsycheClone
I figured the farmers land was partially woodsy and hunters ask permission regularly.
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
But he's still a fuckwit for not actually getting permission, and shooting something he wasn't sure was game.
PsycheClone
Oh without question he's a prick, I'm just saying he probably saw fish in a barrel and instead of living up to "hunter" he took the low road
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
He saw something move and shot it. He'd probably have shot a dog, cat, or anything else that crossed his path just as quickly.
nuushba
Hunter here. What kind of hunter sees potbellied pigs and thinks wild boar? If you can't identify without a doubt what your hunting (1/2)
istealthepixelsfromreposts
Probably the kind that ask permission by leaving a voicemail.
SomeJackassStolemyUsername
Boar are an invasive species. Pigs can get out and multiply. The hunter made a mistake, but Iirc no charges filed. He made a stupid choice
nuushba
I've shot lots of feral hogs and non of them looked like potbellied pigs
SomeJackassStolemyUsername
Not defending the actions, just presenting the only plausible view I could see.
rjrcwalker8
Hahaha this happened to my family pig too kept escaping
Mexrose75
hahaaaha?
rjrcwalker8
Yea it's was funny, the guy who shot it was so upset after he found out. Local paper did an article "first wild boar in _______ county" lol
decoycatfish
Sport hunters.
rickyo86
Right, they don't even make the same grunt noises
nfamouscj
Couple of weeks ago in NY near where I was hunting took a popshot, with a pistol, at 530pm (sunset/dark) thinking it was a deer. He...
nfamouscj
ended up shooting and killing his neighbor who was walking her dog.
MicahtheMartian
Yeah and what kind of hunter tries to shoot a wild boar "points blank"? that's a good way to lose.
Raider37343
This is completely ridiculous. He killed someones pets how is that not against the law.
nuushba
In the state of Texas until a few years ago if someone killed your pet you could legally kill them
avervetmonkey
...did the law get changed because too many cop raids killed pet dogs trying to defend their family?
dvapop
The hunter must be of the mind set "better to ask forgiveness than permission" he got away with it too.
AstronautChicken
People with that mindset tend to not like saying sorry either.
MagnoliaStone
He did fucking get away with it and that kills me. That poor family.
BallsackHippo
Remind me of a sad news I read a week ago. A dumb fuck was hunting at dusk and killed a woman by accident, he thought she was a deer. 1/2
Tentrees
..With a pistol, noteworth. After dark, also noteworthy. That second one is illegal. Who hunts deer after dark with a handgun?
BallsackHippo
In the dark, with a handgun at 200 yards *
Abattage
He got charged with manslaughter though. He was illegally hunting after sunset.
BallsackHippo
2/2 as you said, if you cannot identify your target, DON' FUCKING SHOOT!
OweMiGurd
More guns!!
fearandloathinginaz
Nothing against hunters but I doubt any of them are missing their Mensa meetings to go shoot some animals in the face.
woodjoiner
Agreed. Hunting season is scheduled years in advance. No self-respecting hunter would double book something with a hunting trip.
JustAnotherPOG
"Nothing against hunters, but I think they are all dumb."
fearandloathinginaz
I didn't say that. At least exactly that. Ever watch that game warden show on tv? You'll see what I'm referring to.
JustAnotherPOG
I'm guessing it is similar to Cops? If so, then I would say that it is far from a representative sample of the population.
fearandloathinginaz
Of course. I wasn't being serious. I used to ride dirt and street bikes- I cringe at the Metal Mulisha wannabes and squibs on the road.
nuushba
(2/2) don't shoot! Also you need to get permission to hunt that area first! This idiot has more in common with poachers than hunters
Tentrees
As another hunter, the first hint to him should have been being able to walk right up to a 'wild animal'.
claimingComa
Another hunter here and i completely agree, if you don’t 100% know what you’re shooting and where the bullet travels, DON’T!
circlebreaker
Amateur, sounds like. Point-blank double-kill on boar? What a dumb-ass.
OkramTheBarbarian
Wanted to kill? If it's out of his system, good!
Wohlfen
To be entirely fair, if you can't tell potbellied pigs from wild boar at a distance, you probably shouldn't hunt at all, permission or no.
nicholcm
well, by his logic, you can leave him a voice mail and shoot him on his own property thinking it he was a wild animal
nevoreJunkie
I was hunting sasquatch, judge

UnpinionedPoplars

nuushba
3/3) he didn't have permission so technically he was poaching
MigraMines
In Texas they have some stiff penalties for hunting on someone's land without permission also you're liable to get shot
BingoKing
Wouldn't walking around on property without approval be a huge safety concern? You don't know what or who plays there let alone domestic pet
Doofer20
yea and that fact he shot them point blank. thats not even hunting that executing
KianWiss
Its poaching on 2 accounts since he was trespassing, and shot an animal he didnt have a tag for
ohnoofcourseyourright
He basically asked for permission but never gave them a chance to answer. So I can ask permission to take someone's car by voice mail?
Raven1138
And destruction of property the pigs are property. What if it was a dog ie.
RichardCraniumwasalreadytaken
As a fellow food Hunter, I fully agree with you.
obamalamadingdongditch
He’s a reckless moron doing a disservice to responsible sportsmen everywhere. He shouldn’t be allowed to hunt again.
nuushba
Several US states he would lose guns and vehicle. A massive fine, serve time in jail, and no longer allowed to hunt ever
obamalamadingdongditch
That’s how it works in WI. Good to hear it’s the same elsewhere
whatsthesquarerootofthisapartment
Isn’t that like the first rule of hunting? Always know your target?
d0o0o0d
Know your target, and what is beyond it. It's a gun safety rule that should be memorized well before getting into the hunting stuff.
AstronglywordedEmail
And know whats behind your target.
Dom1716
and to have fun! No jk. I agree with this. Safety first.
whatsthesquarerootofthisapartment
Yeah that’s what I was thinking of
