A few years ago a friend of mine took his younger brother on his first turkey hunt (Both teenagers) For some reason the older brother went ahead to scout for turkeys and left the younger brother sitting there.
Some time later the younger brother is still sitting against a tree and sees something coming at him, he thought it was a turkey and shot his brother square in the face and neck. Luckily the older brother had a cell phone with him (He later got chastised by the church as people in his religion are not supposed to own them) if he did not have it he would have died. His little brother had to run to the road which was over a mile away to show the ambulance where his brother was, I can not even begin to imagine the terror that was going though his mind when he left his brother there. Then ended up flying him out of the because of the remoteness of the location and he spent a over a week in the hospital. That was about 6 or 7 years ago and the one that was shot still has to go in to be checked every so often for I think it is lead content in the blood and to be sure the pellets that were left in him have not shifted. The one and only good thing that did come out of it is nobody knew how poorly the kid was seeing at the time, it was discovered he had very poor vision and never complained about it, I guess when they did get him glasses he could not believe the leaves in the trees were separate pieces, the way he had always seen them was as one big blob and all the other things he could now see with glasses.
