A turkey hunter had to be transported to a hospital after being shot in Woods County on the first day of spring turkey season. The shooter was less than 50 yards away from the victim.
No, that actually happens somewhat frequently (meaning a couple times a year). Hopefully the shooter is charged since he obviously didn't identify his target and shot at sound. He broke about four safe hunting rules.
Spring turkey hunters are not required to wear orange in most states (or all, I don't feel like looking) for the Spring season. Neither are waterfowl hunters during that season.

My father hunts turkey and the guy that got shot did nothing wrong.
Personally not seeing the humor in a guy getting shot by someone else being negligent.
That needs to be stressed. The fault entirely lies with the shooter. As I mentioned he broke about four hunting safety rules and likely a couple or three state laws. He's damned lucky one isn't a manslaughter charge.
I've been shot at while mistaken for a deer. An Ohio hunter trespassing on the family farm mistook me for a deer, and I was wearing blaze orange. Luckily he was a bad shot.

Yes, unfortunately with millions of hunters you're going to get some idiots, especially if they've been drinking.

Buck fever.
I knew a guy years ago who shot another deer hunter, but that guy was NOT wearing orange. No charges were brought. IMO both their faults, follow the rules and know what you are shooting at.
When we lived in upstate New York all the turkey hunters wore camouflage. You will kill 10 deer for every one turkey so you need it. The person that shot the hunter was careless.
