A couple of turkey hunters in Virginia shot each other over the weekend. According to the news, hunter A mistook hunter B for a giant white turkey and shot him in the shoulder, hunter B became irrate at being shot (or at being mistaken for a turkey) and fired back.
My question for Raoul, just how BIG are the Turkeys in Virginia?

Those were not "Hunter's"

They were GoMER's with GuN's

Real "Hunter's" and ANYONE who utilizes firearm safety know that you don't point a firearm loaded or unloaded at any "target" until you have acurately identified said target, let alone remove your finger from the trigger guard.

ItZ sad that these individuals were injured or killed. They were not "Hunter's" and it waZ no accident - pure negligence.

Fortunately, no lives were lost, and I think the injuries were minor since they were probably a good distance apart and using birdshot ... still hurt I imagine.

I also have a feeling that (as in most hunting expeditions) there was more than one kind of "Wild Turkey" involved.

 

I'm glad no one got killed too. I love my uncle and would have missed him dearly. In his defense, he had no idea it was another hunter shooting at him. He thought it was a revenuer.

You were right on the money though, he did have a snoot full.

 

LMAO. There's the post I was waiting for! Are there any gun tottin' truck drivin' goat ropin' folks in Virginia that aren't your uncles? ... not counting Aunts with facial hair.
