Hunter shoots guys disguised as Turkeys

Soon after his shotgun’s blast, the hunter sprinted toward what he thought was a coveted prize: the wild turkey gobbler he’d been calling to and watching.

But Kenneth Dienst found he actually had shot his brother and a friend.

“Right after he shot, he thought he saw a turkey flopping on the ground, but when he hurried up there, he saw two guys rolling on the ground. He’d shot (both) in the face,” said Jim Bussone, a Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism game warden who investigated the April 12 incident in Crawford County.

“The shooter swore he’d seen strutting toms and some other turkeys right up until then.”

But in reality, he’d been looking at a gobbler’s preserved tail fan, behind which Gary Dienst and Justin Wiles had been hiding and sneaking. The shooter was behind another fan. Bussone said the hunters ended up hunting each other.
I think they're on to something myself. Instead of hunters killing all these defenceless animals, why don't they all just hunt one another? :)

OK, I don't hunt. Admitted. But I have encountered many wild turkeys (and a shitload of Wild Turkey) in close quarters, and I am hard-pressed to think of a way to confuse an adult human with a turkey, even if you were trying to do so.

that's all I've got. That's pitch-perfect idiocy.
