jnobleinaz Report post Posted April 30, 2009 Isn't the rule during the spring hunt a bearded turkey, I don't want the beard and the guy was a turkey jokes, but how in the heck could you shoot a person when you have to make sure you are shooting a legal turkey. Now if the guy was carrying a decoy of a tom right in front of his face maybe, I wonder how far away he was, it says he was shot multiple times, was that multiple pellets or did he shoot more than once. My thoughts exactly. Just aim and fire into the trees and you might hit something. LOL. i wonder if alcohol was involved? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted April 30, 2009 I don't think these two guys were hunting together... it mentioned that the shooter did follow up and also meet authorities at the highway. Maybe he went to break his camp or something??? Either way I just can't understand how you can mistake a man for a turkey.... " A hundred thousand sperm and that was the strongest swimmer?"

Well put, They weren't hunting together and the shooter did follow him to the hospital but that was about it, I hope they throw the book at him and he isn't in the woods near me or my kids, what a dumba$$ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted April 30, 2009 I don't think these two guys were hunting together... From the article: "an overzealous hunter shot his partner" This might infer they were together, but never know about accuracy of the press. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coueswt Report post Posted May 1, 2009 The ambulance took the hunter that was shot to the hospital as a precaution while the authorities got their statement from the shooter who called the authorities and requested an ambulance to meet them at the end of the road. They were not hunting together but the shooter did a good job calling apparently. I can think of a few times I have been on early rifle hunts and have called in bulls that we decided to pass on while other hunters came in, we have had to jump up and spook the bull because the other hunters were going to shoot at the bull which was within 30 yards of us. Again accidents happen and we weren’t there. We should be talking about all of the tags our G&F is going to issue for our favorite deer for the mighty $.
