I could phone up the hunters involved and ask them to provide me with the reports they filed then scan them and post it here, just for you.

this should be interesting

It would be interesting if documentation was ever produced, but I am not holding my breath.

Sounds like a broken record. Same song over and over and over.

google "turkey hunting accidents". some very sad events. more people get shot turkey hunting than any other type of hunting.

i can only speak for myself, but in region 4 this spring i have been unable to work a hard gobbling bird at day break for more than 45 mins before being overran by other hunters. its the classic case of hunters trying to out smart the other hunter. very sad, extremely dangerous.

And most times it is with a shotgun!

And never in BC!

I have certainly tried to find info about hunters in British Columbia shooting one another, but it's very, very rare.

This happens when calling in elk, too. And the hunters are armed with centerfire rifles. Hunters are not being killed en masse.

And BC has one of the finest records of hunters not shooting each other anywhere. Even when calling in elk or other animals.


PS Huntwriter, I didn't actually want to see the reports filed by the hunters you claim were fired at and filed reports with the CO's. I can understand that they wouldn't want to share personal information. But surely you can just give us the CO OFFICES where they filed the reports? That way anyone interested in safety information could be able to discuss it with the officers who took the statements to see if the issue is widespread or an isolated instance, or any further recommendations for hunter safety they may have.

I usually find anti hunting people have almost been shot many times, but hunters that are out there in the thick of the action seldom have those stories..

I saw a friend of mine in Ontario kill a monster gobbler with a slingshot, bird was eating his tomatoes! What FPS on a slingshot?
