Another case of mistaken idenity

Unfortunately, cases of mistaken identity do frequently occur in dark woodlands.

Years ago a man in Southern Virginia shot his mother-in-law in the back, claiming that he thought she was a raccoon. Howard Stern even wrote a song about it, called Raccoon-in-Law.

I know that this goes against the grain of the fable, which many Ketchum mites nourish their schoolchildren with, but there is some speculation that Ernest Hemingway, did not actually mean to do himself in with that shotgun, but rather after a heavy night of tippling, mistook his own noggin for a Blue Grouse.
