The terrain was pine woods that are fairly open and the decoys were in a mowed path that the LDWF keeps up. The trail is probably 5-7 yards wideYeah, a Pretty Boy Jr. (painted head or not) is probably not a decoy that should fool a hunter close enough to take a shot... The fact that he was too far to do real damage to the decoy makes me wonder how many turkeys are shot at long ranges that are not recovered, but do not survive?As I stated earlier there is no good excuse for taking the shot... The vast surplus of stupidity of people in general, and hunters in particular will never cease to amaze me...The lack of common sense and common courtesy, is one of the biggest reasons it is so darned difficult to get access on private property in my state... Stories like this are prime examples of why no reasonable person would let someone they do not know hunt on their land..It saddens and disturbs me to hear these stories...

You see it did not turn out as well for me and a turkey hunt nearly cost me my life. It is the most horrible feeling in the world to be sitting on the ground dieing and thinking you'll never see or hug your wife again, you'll never see your kids grow up, you'll never walk your daughters down the isle, you'll never know your grandchildren and more. By God's grace I made it, but it took over a year for the open wounds to completely heal closed. I still suffer some effects 6 years later.......There is no DAMN TURKEY WORTH KILLING SOMONE OVER
