I said they were not dumb. Once when I didn’t have my camera with me I saw the perfect shot, hunters on one side of the road, on the other wild turkeys sitting on a split rail fence, tied to the fence was a sign; "We believe in Christmas!"
The GPO that was killed was in an area that divers went to to view GPO’s, there had even been a documentry shot of her so she didn’t fear divers plus some reports say she was on eggs so she wouldn’t have left the nest.
