JOHNSONVILLE, Ill. — A young Fairfield, Ill., hunter was killed Thursday night when his friend apparently mistook him for a wild turkey and shot him in the back with an arrow.
Aaron J. Long, 20, was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 7 p.m. Thursday night. According to Wayne County Sheriff Jim Hinkle, Long had been hunting near the Sam Dale Lake State Park with several friends Thursday evening when he decided to come down from his deer stand earlier than expected.
“Mr. Long was sitting on a small ridge when his 16-year-old friend walked up on him and mistook him for a wild turkey,” Hinkle said. “He was struck in the upper back and died at the scene.”
The accident remains under investigation by Illinois State Police, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and Wayne County Coroner Jimmy Taylor. The scene of the shooting is in a remote part of northwestern Wayne County, at the north end of Sam Dale Lake.

Mistook him for a wild turkey? :rolleyes: That dude's either a complete dumb ass or the police is going to find out there's more to the story.

Sounds like murder to me. In 30+ years of hunting, I have never mistook anything I was shooting at for anything but what it was. I will NEVER buy into these type of stories. A Turkey at bow range? Come on. Was his buddy 18" tall, 15 lbs, tri-colored with a chicken head? Charge'em with murder and be done with it.

just like most "accidental" shootings in the woods this doesnt sound like an accident.
