[QUOTE="Layne, post: 5058011, member: 5850"] I'm one to wait until I point to shoot, this was driven home to me on a hunt about 10-15 years ago... I had heard a bird gobble on the edge of a field I had killed some birds in previously and I made my way over to it. The field came to a crest in the middle and I was easing up towards it when I saw a fan coming up over the crest of the hill... I squatted to get ready for the gobbler to top the hill when to my surprise it was another hunter carrying a gobbler over his shoulder... I just remember thinking I was glad I didn't have my gun pointed at that poor fella when his head popped over that hill. I always wondered how someone could shoot someone while turkey hunting and that was an eye opener because for a couple of seconds that guy was a gobbler. Also made me think twice about carrying a gobbler over my shoulder without some orange. [/QUOTE]
