Re: No excuse for this.....
I think it was a spear and not a spear pole. I could not see clearly in the video, but I did see bolt cutters. Free-shafted a turtle head on (or else shot it, realized what they did and cut the line, which is even worse).
I cannot see how this could be an accident that is for certain.

It is within the realm of possibility that someone discharged a weapon underneath a dark ledge without fully confirming the occupants there of?

Naw, first lesson you teach a kid is know what your shooting at. Dont shoot at a bush that is moving 'cause you think a bear or deer may be behind it!

Unfortunately there are always a few morons with guns and spears. The spear may lead to the culprit being tracked down, or fearing same they may surrender themselves to the authorities.

Turtles are pretty big.I have seen them in caves off Lighthouse Point and in the keys but its obvious what they are.I have shot Morays by accident chasing grouper into holes.Push the spear around till you hear them thump,thump,thump and shoot them.Two times I got huge pissed off Morays out of hundreds of other shots that got my grouper.The grouper love to eat them if you H&L fish also. I have petted and fed some huge Morays in the keys and had no issues but I really dont like to see them speared in the ass on the end of my spear.
