*closet door slamming*

I'd wear blaze orange turkey hunting if I thought I could still shoot a bird. Personally, I don't feel safe in the turkey woods if anyone else is around, even using shotguns. If I hunt a property that I know has other hunters on it, I make a point to speak with them before the hunt so that they and I both know where the other will be. It's eerie sneaking around in a woods completely camo'd where there are people wanting something to shoot at. There are too many stories of people getting excited and blasting at decoys, etc. In many cases, being a backstop for birdshot may just be a little uncomfortable, but a PRB wouldn't slow down if it found you let alone a .223 or .243.

If I was forced to hunt solely on public land and rifles were legal, I'd still turkey hunt. But you'd better believe that I would leave my B-Mobile at home!

Just be careful and have fun.
