"Bennett said he followed the female turkeys and then saw a male turkey. Bennett said he fired his shotgun at the male turkey, but in the low light, soon realized the male turkey was a decoy. He then heard someone shout they had been shot"
This is why you don't f***ing stalk turkeys. Idiot.

Okay, so which one is the "Florida Man" this time? The guy who fired at the decoy, or the guy who set out the decoy and stood near it while wearing camouflage?

You're kidding, right?
Generally speaking, turkey hunting is done with decoys and calling. Because turkeys have good vision, the hunter uses some combination of blinds and camo.

It says it all. He never saw a turkey. He saw movement and shot b/c HE COULDN'T F'ING SEE!
I mean, damn. If you need a turkey that bad, go to Ralphs and get a Butterball or something, dude.

Nope.
1. Pheasant
2. Deer
3. Turkey
Pheasant season is a f***ing circus and lots of hunters in the stocked fields.
More people hunt deer than turkey so deer comes in #2 due to the number of participants.
Deer hunting has more deadly accidents than pheasant and turkey but with respect to all accidental shootings (deadly and injury) pheasant hunting has the most accidents.

Is Pheasant as bad now with the separate permit???? Although, it isn't that much so I suspect your average Fezzy hunter is willing to pay it.
If I were a pheasant hunter, I'd just go to Addeville East or something. Sure it's pricy. But I'm assured of getting a few versus being out with 100's of my fellow nimrods and getting skunked all the time. (Ah yes, but I'm part of NES. NES members - especially paying members - have Morgan Fairchild wives, can put 5 shots into a bottle cap at 200 yds with a rusty old 10/22 and ALWAYS get a pheasant on release day. . . without cheating.)
I had a vendor take me to Addeville for pheasant once. I don't have a dog, so I'm SOL anyhow. It was a fun morning. I prefer Steak & Clays myself.

If he’s telling the truth that’s BS. How”s a hunter supposed to see bugs that have been released. I’ve never even heard of that before.Wildlife Commissioner Cited for Hunting Turkeys Over Bait Says He Didn't Know the Crickets Were There

I read the whole article. And I feel it's a setup.
He is up for re-election, and they got an anonymous tip.
Totally smells like some kind of setup.
I also don't know anything about turkey hunting. Didn't know they ate bugs etc.
