They keep saying that more often than not its the experienced guys but its not its the guys that hunt once or twice a year or young guys out on the light time and time again.............

Now I used to spotlight a hell of alot and deer really stick out like dogsballs in the light, the bastards literally glow.. So what the hell are they upto...

Im with you on this,I can understand how it could happen(even tho it never should if the rules are obeyed) in the bush in the roar.
But to shoot some one in the spotlight hell I can clearly see the difference between a sheep/cow/deer at 3 times the distance I would shoot in the light and non of them look anything like a human.
I think most of these cases must be inexperience. Ie they think its a deer but dont know because they havnt seen enough of them to know what they look like.
I take out a few new to hunting types and it amazes me every time they just cant see animals you are trying to show them, or they are adamant that small bush is a deer
