Big oak tree and 30 yards of "brush". Did a bullet actually get past all that or did you just not see the turkey hunters? I wouldn't beat myself up to bad. Nobody got hurt and I have no doubt you will have a little better look around next time. As much shooting as your doing I am surprised you haven't built yourself a backstop someplace.
My favorite place to shoot is down by a local river. Spot floods a lot. Railroad built a berm about 12 feet tall to put their road on. Makes a great bullet stopper. Its pretty easy to tell when a train is coming. They blow that whistle at every county road crossing.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

know your target and what is beyond it.
1. Treat every gun as if it were loaded. 2. Always point your gun in a safe direction. 3. Never point your gun at anything you don't intend to shoot. 4. Keep your finger off the trigger until your ready to shoot. 5. Be sure of your target and what's beyond. Yes, yes, and yes! My Father instilled those words in us kids from day one. He's been gone 30+ years now and i still live by those rules.

Sounds like he is saying not needed leave it be.
Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.
