NC hunter using coyote caller is mistaken for real coyote, killed by neighbor

"A North Carolina coyote hunter’s electronic coyote caller was apparently so convincing, he ended up being mistaken for a coyote and was shot and killed.

The victim, 26-year-old Michael Seth Marsh, was also the pastor of Russell Gap Baptist Church near Taylorsville. The alleged shooter, 31-year-old Matthew Dunn of Taylorsville, was charged with involuntary manslaughter, said the Alexander County Sheriff’s Office."

Investigators say Marsh was armed with a shotgun, wearing camouflage and using an electronic coyote caller when he set up on the ground near a tree, according to the Taylorsville Times. Dunn, who lives in the area, told deputies that he heard coyotes screaming and believed they had trapped something in a tree, the Times reported.

He went to investigate and thought he saw something “brown and gray” that looked like a coyote, media outlets report.

Dunn fired two shots with an AR-15, striking Marsh twice in the chest. Marsh then stood up and yelled “stop shooting, you hit me,” according to the Observer’s news partner WBTV.

You can only get away with shooting at movement and hurting someone if you are a mass state trooper. The rest of us would get inv. Man.

Or a fudd with a gun identifying his target before destroying it.
