[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5876811, member: 1409"] [B]More times than not, seems to be it's someone's 1st shot that's unethical, rather than a 2nd shot.[/B] Seems I'm always hearing of someone who shot at several birds before bagging one. This is typically a lack of trigger restraint, and multiple poor decisions. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the turkeys shot at, but unrecovered, don't die within 48 hrs due to one or more pellets that hit the gut. The gut is a larger surface area target than the neck/head, and when it's hit, the bird simply flies or runs, often not appearing to have been hit. [/QUOTE]
