You are correct. The whole story is never evident @ 1st, but this seems stupid and criminal. The last hunter killed in CO was a teenage boy archer shot by, that's right, a muzzy hunter on Grand Mesa.Sad and senseless. How in the world do you ever confuse a human being for an elk or any other game for that matter. No optics on muzzleloaders in Colorado, correct?
That was equally tragic, but even more sadly, not the last. Rifle hunter was killed last year by a buddy in Grand County. It happens too frequently. Three simple rules.You are correct.

Glad to hear that he was charged.
Wow. That last sentence is simple but profound.....and true.In NZ the safety color is blue because guys would shoot at orange thinking it was a Red Deer.
Idiocy is Universal.
You must be one hell of a caller.I called in my second hunter of the season Friday. Depending on the terrain and setup I will either move away or sometimes just wait till I hear/see them and whistle or something. If you have been around elk enough it’s pretty easy to tell a hunter from a real elk calling. Unfortunately some of the tactics that are really good at bringing in elk also can be convincing to humans. Few years back We had a guy stalk in and step out from behind a pine at full draw on my miss September Montana decoy. He had taken his shoes off and come in quiet, luckily that scenario had gone thru my head and we always stand in line with the ends of the decoy and not behind the broadside faces. Raking and rattling from heavy timber are usually part of my early season game, not sure I would do it on public land if Montana had muzzy hunters running around the timber in archery season. Don’t shoot anything at anything you can’t 100% identify as your game target, it’s really that simple. This should never happen, period.
