The other day a local hunter a younger guy about 21 or so told me something a little disturbing. He was scouting and saw some turkeys. OUT OF SEASON OFCOURSE He had his muzzleloader aswell. He said he was like me and had not got a deer or turkey. I understand how he feels. His thought was since i was out in the middle of no where and thanksgiving was coming up he would shot one and get a wild turkey for thanksgiving. Guess he hit it right in the middle of the body. WITH THE .50cal muzzy. He was real happey till he walked up to it a short 50 yards away. He said it had all put blown it to little peices. Not a piece of it WAS eatable. Guts and pile was all over the meat. He said he said a pray and ask god to forgive him. I said well we all make mistakes. If it was most any other hunter i would have ripped him. But a new hunter and a younger guy i choose not to. what would you have done? I think seeing the birds just got the best of him.
