sorry guys, i just checked my link and the page is down. anyway a guy was out with his 6 y/o son turkey hunting. he thought he heard a gobbler in the bushes so what does he do? you guessed it, shoots into the bushes. when he goes to get his "bird" he finds a hunter dead. ive heard conflicting information about whether or not the hunter was using bird shot or OO buck shot, not that it matters! terrible story and a black eye for our sport. again i pray for both families.

Way to teach your son proper hunting ethics and tactics.

It never costs anything to hold fire... but it can cost you or someone else everything to open fire. Terrible thing to happen in front of a young hunter.

Never shoot until your intended target is visible and identified, rule #1 of hunter safety is always point your gun in a "safe" direction i.e. at a gobblers head/neck! Be safe my friends!

Yeah, that is pretty sad! While it may be an accident, there should be some way to penalize the man, like loosing hunting rights for a while and taking some kind of saftey course. But it's pretty pathetic if you ask me! Here's a different link to the story.
