I have seen that happen several times using archery equipment. Never had it happen while gun hunting, seen it on the outdoor shows plenty though. Must be sorta common.

I've killed two gobblers after they pounced on a bird I'd shot. Both were accidents as I thought the second bird was the first one getting up to run off. On two other occasions I got two Toms with one shot, again, by mistake. I guess there's bad luck in turkey hunting...and then there's my luck (a.k.a. dumb luck).
