Default B-Moble Too Real - PA Yahoo!

A friend of mine bought into a hunting camp/land lease in PA last deer season. He went there this weekend to hunt turkeys. It sounded like a good hunt in the early AM, had a strutter come in but he got cut off by a hen and that blew it. About 11:00, he was working another bird, and he hears an ATV. The ATV stops, then BAM! Someone shot his Decoy! He was hit by bark flying off of a nearby tree that got hit by the blast. He was lucky to not take any pellets himself. The ATV rider apparently was a guest of someone on the lease and was legitimately able to hunt off the ATV because of problems with his legs. The person he was hunting with gave him a ration of S*&# for shooting at something that didn't move and not realizing it was a deke. My friend showed a lot more restraint than I would have. The guy appologized for shooting his deke and offered to pay for it, but my friend just let it go. I would have been FURIOUS! Again, BE SURE OF YOUR TARGETS!![/align]
