In all seriousness, though the rate has declined precipitously, this is still one of the most common dumbass hunting mistakes. Not knowing your target and what is behind it.

A rustling bush is not a clear fucking shot at your prey, no matter how long the day has been, no matter how empty-handed you may be, no matter how excited you might be at finally getting a shot.

Buck fever gets humans shot.
