Accidently shot a cow' Priceless, still laughing.
My cousin, Hagar the horrible, very nearly 'accidently' throttled a duck when we went on a fishing trip once.
It was my fault apparently.
We'd spent the night moored up in the estuary on my brothers boat ready for an early start the following morning.
I underestimated Hagars food input requirements and thought I'd packed enough food to last the day, but he'd eaten it all before we went to bed.
When I woke in the morning Hagar was already on deck.
I went on deck to find him leaning over the side of the boat with his hands around the neck of this very rare duck which the locals had introduced to the river.
He was well pleased with himself, he'd enticed the duck over with a pickled onion (apparently helped himself to some for later when we were in the pub the previous evening)
He looked at me and said, "breakfast". I quickly explained that it was a pet and that we were being watched by the owners.
It was touch and go for a few seconds, he was in breakfast mode, I told him we'd go ashore and buy some pasties instead. He slowly processed the information, patted the duck on the head and let it go.
P.S Mark, this is the skipper of the charter boat we go out with
