Alot of the blokes pulling the trigger swear they ARE identifying their target tho, the theory is peoples brains are telling them it is a “deer”
Having to identify the type of deer and how good its rack is would surely eliminate this. Anyone who does enough hunting at some stage will know the feeling of thinking something is a deer that turns out is not, you cant eliminate that but you can stop people pulling the trigger on it, worded poorly but you get the idea
