## Caption

It was the spring of 2022 and Scott Haguen was heading out of Mexico’s Sierra Madres where he’d been hunting Gould’s turkeys for three days.⁠
⁠
“It was the last subspecies that my buddies and I needed to complete our world turkey slams and we were content after a successful hunt. Trips to Mexico like this one had been common in the hunting industry, in which I’ve worked for decades. A handful of writers and industry members would head to Sonora for a hunt, usually for turkeys or deer. The winding road through the mountains of Sonora made for slow going. Eventually we hit a brief stretch of straight road—the only one for several miles—and a pickup truck sped past us. It whipped in front of our vehicle and slammed on the brakes, stopping broadside. There was no way to drive around it so our driver skidded to a halt. Through the blue smoke of skidding tires, I saw three doors fly open and out rushed three men with ARs. Charging our truck, they yelled and pointed their guns at us. Through our rolled up tinted windows we could feel the intensity of their shouting.”⁠
