"saw and heard what he thought to be a turkey, and shot the two men."
Incredible!

This why I won't stalk with a fan on private land. You never know who might be where and if they are capable of doing something as stupid as this

Follow these simple rules and "accidents" like this won't happen...
The 12 Golden rules for Safe Gun Handling
Always treat the gun as loaded.
Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
Always keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
Always keep the gun unloaded until you are ready to use it.
Never point the gun at anything you don't intend to destroy.
Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
Learn the mechanical and handling characteristics of the gun you are using.
Always use proper Ammunition.
Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before loading and shooting.
If your gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, hold your shooting position for several seconds; then with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, carefully unload the gun.
Don't rely on the gun's safety to keep it from firing.
Be aware of your surroundings when handling guns so you don't trip or lose your balance and accidentally point and/or fire the gun at anyone or anything.

Boy! That guy needs a boot shoved far enough up his rump that he'd choke on the strings! Just completely senseless. Zero excuses for that behavior. ZERO! Glad the two hunters are going to be ok.

Since only bearded turkeys are legal do you think “he thought he saw a beard” too?
Absolutely no excuse for this..

Brandon, I understand the civil liability side of the equation but what is the criminal liability side? |

I will never understand how this happens. You need a head shot on a turkey. You need to know if its a shooter or not. So HOW do they do this?

Reckless endangerment Criminal recklessness Criminal negligence Depends on the whole story and the extent of the injuries of course. |
