“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.
Sounds reasonable that turkey hunters are more likely to get shot by other turkey hunters.
I doubt the hiker was wearing a ghillie suit and carrying a decoy while blowing on a turkey call though.
