Jace Bauserman
3/5
The article I read reflects bow hunter Jace Bauserman's personal encounter with an un-aware turkey hunter.
Bauserman wrote this article to inform other bow hunters of how to experience longbeard (turkey) solitude while staying on public land. Bauserman was hunting for longbeards, and as he prepared to take the shot with his bow, a loud shot rang out, and Bauserman saw his turkey on the ground dead. Another hunter stepped out of the brush and hoisted the turkey by the legs triumphantly. Bauserman did not know if that hunter had seen him, but regardless, he learned that taking the time to find an isolated, yet turkey-dense location truly paid off. This article affected me in several ways, since I am starting to take archery myself (I won't be killing animals or anything). This article made me think about the risks that come with hunting or shooting on public land, such as other hunters. Although I'm not a hunter, I realize that these risks are present even walking through trails.
