Perhaps in your wildest imagination if someone was even dressed like a turkey slithering around you would know it wasnt real or something just wasnt right about it. So if it was a hen he would have blasted it? I just dont understand how that can be an accident. Its sad and stupid.

"You are responsible for your target and beyond".

I cannot make a judgement for or against the father without knowing all the circumstances, maybe he is like me and sort of anal about safety in the woods and this is a horrable accident and the kid was hiding behind a decoy ??? or maybe he is a redneck and don't give a crap, but now that he shot his son maybe he will be more like me. I really hate to see kids killed by the ones that are supposed to be protecting them intentional or not so hopefully the father will learn from this and teach others the meaning of SAFETY !!!

Sad times in their home for sure !!
