I am told that >people get killed here hunting deer, and especially turkey. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Could this be because of the keen eyesight on a turkey - so that you can't wear orange (except when walking to/from your spot) ? BTW - I'm a hunting wife. I've done some myself with my husband but he definetely does more than I these days ! He's basically (99.5% of the time) a bow hunter. The thing that scares me about turkey season is that bow & gun seasons are at the same time. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shoshana L.
