Looking for suggestions as to how to get into hunting

This was on Facebook earlier this year. Spring Turkey season. Happened in the Carolinas. They guy pictured started to call and his hunting bud blasted him! Wonder if he took a hunter safety course or just forgot the first 5 rules or was just plain stupid!

Dang, I’d find another hunting buddy after I beat the tar out of the old one.

Looks just like when you skin a rabbit that got hit a little hard

Seems I remember one of our more recent Vice Presidents peppered one of his hunting buddies.

Finding a decent place to hunt "might" be your biggest problem now days. Good luck!

Just look up the statistics from now and 20 or more years ago, especially in states like Wisconsin , Pennsylvania , and others with large numbers of hunters. Incidents of hunters shooting other hunters are way down now and the reason is hunter education . In fact more hunters are hurt/killed falling from treestands now which is something hunter education also addresses.

I’d agree with that. Getting hit from “friendly fire” has always been a problem.
