I sorry to hear that about a fellow hunter there isnt any way a person can misstake a man for a turkey NO WAYY i HOPE they catch the person that did it But that want help his family memebers or bring him back i like turkey hunting i think the closer the gobblers is the better and i use decoys all the time SO WHEN i put the Jake out i will ALWAYS PUT it out in front of me BUT ALWAYS to my RIGHT or LEFT BUT NOt right in front of me NEVER so in case some body comes over the hill and shoots the decoy i have a better chanse i wont get shot Good Luck and be Safe VM
