I'm not buying into that one. Mistaken for a turkey, that dog won't hunt in court.

Wearing orange or not, it is very difficult to identify a man as a turkey, unless they grow really huge turkeys in Missouri. They should publish the hunters name, you never take the safety off till you have identified what you are shooting at. Absolutely senseless and 100% preventable.
