    Your last line is just opinion.
    They did not identify their target. End of story.

    It is a scary scenario to think there are people running around the bush with firearms that see things that are not there

    I am sure all of us that venture bush have seen things at first glance we thought were animals. Shape, colour, movement, location etc.

    A few seconds or minutes spent scrutinizing will usually sort it.

    Seeing something within a few meters and being convinced it is an animal when it is not, is different level shit I have no experience with. I cant understand or fathom it.
    Probably happens to bigfoot witnesses

    If I ever had an incident where I was 100% sure I am looking at an animal and it turned into a human I would hang up my boots.

    That is why I firmly believe miss identification stems from attitude.
