God ! It's a day dream to ever believe human would change to bush pig or whatever creature .This episode can be related to high aspiration or desperation to kill a prey for the particular day .The guy was blindfolded by hunger and desperation to take something home ,so in the process shot at a blink of a glance ,not patient to look btw the line to identity his prey before pulling the trigger .The notion of confusing his friend for bush pig is arguable but the superstition of human changing to bush pig is nothing but a day dream .
Spare me

he will say hunting is only for the brave because fellow hunter will use charm to test you if you are strong by turning into game for the hunter to hunt. but if the hunter is a strong man he will see the game is a fellow hunter and command it to turn back to it original form.

Oh please! All this talk about someone changing into a pig is so much moonshine. It doesn't happen and it can't happen. Real world, people!
WhaleDog, you're on the ball there... It sounds like a beat-up over an all-too common hunting tragedy caused by impatience and inattention. Some years ago a man in New South Wales was jailed for manslaughter after he went deer hunting, had no luck for three days, shot at movement without checking the target, and killed a bushwalker. The victim had taken precautions and donned a high-visibility vest, but the shooter's stupidity brought that to nothing.
