1159.0. "Turkey Shoots Hunter" by HOTWTR::MURPHYRO () Fri Apr 24 1992 22:57

    Heard on the news today about a turkey hunter who was shot in the leg
    by the turkey. Seems the fellow shot a bird, threw it in the trunk and
    started home. The bird, wasn't dead, at which time he scratched and
    kicked the living daylights out of the guys trunk, and set off his
    shotgun. The guy ends up shot in the leg, and oh by the way, Turkey
    season is two weeks out. he and his son will be paying in more ways
    than one.

1159.1Makes us all look bad!!!PIPPER::STURNERSat Apr 25 1992 08:586
    WoW, not only out of season but a loaded gun in his car!
    Was this in Mass? If it was he's not only going to loose
    his hunting license for a few years, they'll probably pull
    his FID card for a loaded gun in the car. Stuuuuuuupid!!!

    The story was on the front page of the local paper the other day. The
    2 "POACHERS" were from Mo. (Montana?).

    How come the press always reports the bad, and not the good.
    
    IMO, that guy was an idiot.  Fools like that should have their license
    taken away until they successfully complete a firearm safety course,
    hunter safety course, and do some type of community work related to
    hunting.

There's an old saying in the newspaper business:  "Good news is no news."

As everyone else has pointed out, a poacher with a loaded weapon in his
car deserves what he gets.  Bleedin' idiot (in more ways than one :-)
