Humans Are NOT Turkeys!!!!

Filed under: Wacky, Tacky & True

ascan0042.jpg

There was ANOTHER turkey hunting related accident this past weekend!

And, THANK GOD, there's no death to report this time.

A Nampa, Idaho, man named Brent Rose survived after having more than 100 shotgun pellets drilled into his face, neck and back during a turkey hunting trip on Sunday.

Ouch!!!!

Rose recounts that he was within reach of a turkey he had been chasing when he heard someone behind him.

"I turned around and saw the three boys," Rose said.

He tried to whistle to alert the three hunters to his presence, but said his lips were too dry.

"I waived my hand to let them know I was there," he said. "I saw them looking at me, and then boom. I was face down on the ground holding the back of my head and screaming for my life."

The coat Rose had on at the time reportedly saved his life.

Idaho law enforcement hopes hunters learn a lesson from Rose's horrifying experience.

A spokesman said, "Most hunting accidents are caused by not identifying your target. Mistaking a man for a turkey is definitely a case of misidentifying the target. This definitely could have been avoided — make darn sure you know what you're shooting at."

Note to self: stay far, far away from turkey hunting grounds.

Note to YOU: water guns are more fun than real ones!!!!!!!

    Is it turkey season? Are turkey hunters preppin' for Thanksgiving? I guess the timing is right. I thought turkeys were raised on turkey ranches/farms.

    Do you have a brain in that head of yours, Perez?

    What is with all these fucking morons that have been mistaken people for turkeys?! I'm sorry but how the FUCK do you manage that?! People are seriously fucked up! Maybe if these people wore proper attire for turkey hunting! Maybe they should consider not wearing camouflage, try wearing a brighter color. Turkeys are stupid, they won’t run away if they see a human wearing a bright coat. They aren’t that clever. Besides, I’d rather have a turkey run away from me because it spots me rather than getting SHOT!.

    That has to be a little stingy. So - How come folks aren't wearing the orange jackets to let other hunters know that they are NOT a turkey (deerr, etc)? Alot of these accidents seem pretty avoidable.

  33. #33 - YOU SUCK PEREZ says – reply to this

    Whatever Perez, I sent you a link to another turkey hunting accident yesterday, totally different than this and the other two! Do you even check your email?

  34. #34 - mcuttill says – reply to this

    As a hunter this stuff sickens me. Infortunatelymost states only require you to score about 70% on the safety course test to pass and they don't require any measure of common sense. It's only slightly better than the requirements to become a parent.

  35. #35 - Billy Bee says – reply to this

    Shooting Turkeys with a Pellet Gun. WTF. That would be a slow painfull death.

    Very inhumane.

    Hope the hunters shoot each other and more of them get shot. Karma.

  41. #41 - Theresa says – reply to this

    How the fuck do you "mistake" a human for a turkey? I mean really! I myself have never gone turkey hunting but I know what they fucking look like. So unless the people are dressing in feathers there should be no reason for these "mistakes". Fucking idiots and their guns!

  42. #42 - mcuttill says – reply to this

    As a hunter this sickens me. Unfortunately in most states you only need to take a safety course and score about 70% on the test to get a license. You don't have to be competent. That's barely more than the requirements to be a parent.

  43. #43 - katie says – reply to this

    this is why you don't hunt!

  44. #44 - jack says – reply to this

    so, I live in a state that turkey hunts A LOT..and Ill say a lot of people get hurt..because everyone dresses up in camo…hides in the woods and make turkey noises..so everyone shoots at eachother because they think everyone is a turkey….makes absolutely no sense…people are stupid….

  45. #45 - Bhoona says – reply to this

    These hunters are all drunk and/or doped up and will excitedly shoot at anything that moves.

    Even ants on the ground are not safe.

    A series of civil disobedience actions are planned throughout the city Wednesday in response to the acquittals of three New York City undercover detectives in the killing of an unarmed groom on his wedding day.

    Simultaneous protests are planned for 3 p.m. in six key transit areas in the city – five in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn. Large crowds are expected for the acts of civil disobedience, which could see hundreds of people clogging each designated protest spot. The protests are expected to continue through the evening rush hour.

    Turkeys are not very smart animals and apparently neither are those who hunt them!

  56. #56 - Michael says – reply to this

    First rule of turkey hunting, you don't stalk (chase) turkeys! This is just looking for someone to shoot you accidentally. Pennsylvania's hunter safety course is VERY clear about this. You don't wear or carry anything that has blue, red, or white on it either, since those are the colors of a turkey's head. Hunters are up very early (4AM), maybe several days in a row. They are tired, anxious, probably bleary eyes, and when they hear a turkey calling their pulse starts to race. It's a recipe for disaster and accidents do happen.

    If a hunter gets killed or wounded instead of the innocent animals, I'm all for it. Kill each other hunters, the world will be rid of you, killers of innocent animals.

  73. #73 - Turkey says – reply to this

    When turkey hunting, you are covered from head to toe in camo. You could possibly be in the line of fire from another hunter without them even knowing. That is how you get close enough for the shot, turkeys are either hunted with bow & arrow or shotguns and both are for close range.

    This is why people wear hunter orange. Ever heard of it?

    Re: idiots – I am not sure where you are from, but you can pretty much pick any part of the world and see atrocities beyond belief…Holocaust, Kmher Rouge Regime, Armenian Holocaust, Rwanda, Idi Amin, Chavez, Castro…I could go on you know. Luckily, we in the US live in a democracy where we can work to elect officials that are in alignment with our view points. Maybe it's not perfect, but it is what we the people make of it.

  77. #77 - Don't act like you know what you're talking about says – reply to this

    ?? is a dumbass….that's exactly what a shotgun wound would look like. It doesn't depend on the guage…it depends on the shot size, choke and distance from the shooter. A fucking 410 will blow the hell out of your if you're close and a 12 ga won't even hurt if you're far enough out (kind of like getting hit by someone thowing a handfull of BB's at you).

We had to wear a bunch of bright orange stuff - hats, jackets, etc…so other hunters could easily ID us. Don't they do that anymore?

    Kimberly, Shannon and Priscilla are all dumbasses: Wild turkeys are very hard to get close enough to to kill. Animals are not "innocent", that's a characteristic humanist assholes apply to them. Some of us meat eaters acknowledge that there is a seemingly brutal part of the harvest.

    Exactly how huge are these wild turkeys that these idiots keep mistaking people for turkeys?? I don't care how short or fat someone is, I'm still unlikely to mistake them for a large bird at several yards distance.

  92. #92 - MissVera says – reply to this

    Anyone who kills an animal for sport deserves to be shot right back… just like the seal hunters deserve to have their heads bashed in. It's Karma.

  93. #93 - jen says – reply to this

    you gotta wear camoflauge to go turkey hunting because they aren't colour blind, so you can't wear those bright orange hunting jackets or anything.

    up here in sunny canada you're required to take a special course on turkey hunting before they'll give you a turkey hunting liscence.

    yanno, because so many people can't tell the difference between a stupid bird and a stupid hunter.

  94. #94 - jerseycaptive says – reply to this

    Are you serious? Another incident?! This is getting out of hand. People who cannot distinguish between a bird and a human being (esp. if that person is… oh I don't know, your kid) shouldn't be allowed to handle a gun. All morons! And if your kid looks like a turkey, maybe time to stop the whole in-breeding stuff.

  99. #99 - mw says – reply to this

    Aren't hunters supposed to wear day-glo orange vests for just this purpose. Even a hat in bright orange would set you off from the animals you're hunting. People should start using their brains.

  100. #100 - Josh4ever says – reply to this

    Maybe these hunters should quit drinking the Wild Turkey while trying to hunt the wild turkey. Just a thought.
