Pennsylvania Opener = 5 Accident's..

Postby 35Whelan » Tue May 04, 2010 5:30 pm

Saturday was Pennsylvania's opener for spring Gobbler's... Unfortunately there were 5 shooting related accident's.. One resulting in a FATALITY when a 77 year old hunter mistook a 67 year hunter for a turkey and killed him with a single shot from a 12 gauge shotgun... So Sad... But yet SO STUPID... NO EXCUSE FOR A SHOOTING RELATED ACCIDENT...

I still have no idea how someone could mistake a person for a turkey - or for that matter any game.
so sad :(
sometimes i think deer just parachute out of sky.
hunting is not a competition of man vs man but rather a accomplishment of man vs nature
