Lucky Escape: Florida deer hunter shoots man photographing turkeys...TWICE

  • 10 years ago
If you go down to the woods today......you'd better watch out, cos it's deer hunting season in the Sunshine State.

And with dozens of trigger happy hunters like 43-year old Michael Trott looking to bag some fresh venison for dinner, nature lovers Clint Galentine and his buddy obviously weren't careful enough.

Galentine and his friend were walking through the Oakridge Trails section of Hillsborough Wildlife Management Area looking for wild turkeys to photograph when Trott somehow mistook the turkey-chasing duo for a deer.

He pumped two bullets into his prize buck.... before he realized that it wasn't a prize buck after all, but a man who was shit out a luck.

The shots hit Galentine in the left side. One bullet traveled through his left arm, breaking his bone and leaving him with possible permanent damage.

Trott and Galentine's friend then patched up his two bullet wounds before Trott drove the injured man to a waiting ambulance.

A lucky Galentine is now recovering in hospital as he tries to figure out how the hell Trott mistook two adult males making turkey sounds for a deer.
