Guy mistakenly shoots gal pal on romantic hog-hunting date

A Florida man probably wishes he had taken his girlfriend bowling instead of hog hunting after he accidentally mistook her for a hog and shot her. Steven Egan thought he had just nailed one of the creatures and headed off to locate it. When he heard a rustle, he fired into the woods, thinking it was the fallen animal. Unfortunately, it was his girlfriend, Lisa Simmons, who was collecting oranges that had fallen from the trees. The 52-year-old Egan is a pretty good shot, hitting Simmons with a .30-caliber bullet in both legs. Simmons was airlifted to a nearby hospital, where she remains in serious condition. We think Egan's next hunt may be for a new girlfriend.
