"But I guess the only way to hunt safely is either not go or do it out of a pickup window."

Please give me a break when you try to compare not hunting at all to not have an accident to crawling around with a turkey fan! There are also a lot of accidents right around or in vehicles, so that comparison also doesn't hack it. Also, I would bet if bald9eagle would have dug further into the stats he posted and they are available he would have found that the number of people turkey hunting that are shot out in the field is at a higher percentage than those hunting other species. One reason is because people are in full camo and another is due to people calling and idiots coming to that call with a shotgun that has more of a chance to hit someone with many pellets you are putting out compared to a rifle. Coming to a call is also a big nono, but you read about many accidents where a person did exactly that and then shot the hunter that was sitting hidden while calling. In a nutshell, this is one where a couple of us will just have to agree to disagree with the two of you.
