Turkey hunting has the worst rate of accidental shootings, considering far fewer people hunt turkey than deer.

Not sure why that is, but they seem to ignore the part about identifying your target before pulling the trigger.

I remember a few years back in one of the hunting magazines I read about a world champion turkey caller who got shot and killed calling in turkeys during turkey season. Evidently somebody just shot at the sound.

They never caught the culprit.

Turkey hunters are about a half bubble off the plumb, IMO.

“Evidently somebody just shot at the sound.”

Some turkey hunters wear ghillie suits that cant be seen at all, and will put out turkey decoys that look like the real thing. Then they will set next to that making turkey calls.

It’s a wonder more aren’t shot.
