I just received a call from my Dad. He tells me that a friend of ours was shot this morning while turkey hunting. This guy has hunted turkeys for 40-50 years. He has taken dozens of people hunting over the years and has done much with NWTF and their youth hunts. I was scouting with him at age 11 when I heard my first gobble 30 years ago. He is the most experienced turkey hunter I know.
The guy that shot him was an adult who he had hunted with before.
Details are sketchy. I just know they were going to move and re-set up on a bird they were working. The guy mistook him for a bird and shot. It is not life threatening but he is "messed up". Doctors are currently deciding on what pellets to remove and what to leave. One is in his sinus that is causing the most concern.
I write this because I have hunted with this guy. He is very safe and always talks about safety. He says "wear a safety harness" every time I see him in the fall. I guess things like this can happen to anyone when there is a split second lapse of judgement.
NO YOUR TARGET AT ALL TIMES!!!!!
