[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4895808, member: 1409"] Until more details are disclosed, I'm going to give the wildlife officer the benefit of my doubts. Surely, this was some freak accident, I surely hope. I can think of one simple way it "could" happen, and could happen to any of us. You have a turkey "playing the game". You're calling to him, he's gobbling. You're competing with a hen, also calling to this same gobbler. You close in a few yards; so does that dad-gummed hen. There is a calling competition between you and the real hen, which sounds less than 100 yds away. Finally, ole Tom tops the little rise at 35 yds, in full strut. You take off his head with your new TSS load. Unbeknownst to you, that "hen" was another hunter just 75 yds away, but you couldn't see each other due to a slight rise between you. A freaky accident is very plausible, even if most shootings are due to carelessness and stupidity. [/QUOTE]
