There are also certain types of hunting where that kind of shooting style is more prevalent, especially rabbit and turkey hunting. It happens too with upland bird, (ala Dick Cheney), but usually upland bird hunters are shooting up in the air so an errant shot at motion isn't as dangerous. With rabbits hunters are often making very fast shots at ground level targets and often not enough attention is paid to what lies beyond.

I haven't personally hunted turkeys, but I've been told that turkey hunters often mistake other objects for partial views of turkeys and I have read that accidents are more common while hunting turkey than in most other types of hunting.

Turkey hunting is more of a sit and wait thing. Hide in a blind. Decoys. Lots of calling.

Not a stalking type of hunt.

Much like deer hunting from a tree stand.

That's why I don't hunt turkeys.

Riskiest form of hunting. Everything is camouflage. People sitting or laying at ground level. Too many morons.

(Deer hunting can be risky even though your wearing tons of blaze orange.)
