Thread: Missed one!

Haywire miss turkey.
Haywire miss turkey at 25 steps.
Haywire sad.

Lots of GOOD reasons for miss---North Korean involvement suspected---alien involvement a certainty.
Them turkeys in trouble, now, for sure.
Haywire mad.

25 steps?? say it ain't sooooo...... you are just trying to darn hard ...that XX full turkey choke needs a little way, to open up some....just consider it practice for the next one to cross your path...get'em Haywire

Use a shotgun next time. A headshot on a gobbler with your .45 1911 will tax even your astounding firearm skills.

You huntin wild turkeys or huntin' with Wild Turkey?

A friend of mine told me once, after I made a spectacular miss, that there is NO EXCUSE for missing something that big with a shotgun. Of course he has killed maybe six in his life-you hunt much and you will miss some. I does hurt though....

It ain't the first one I've missed and, Lord knows, it will not be the last. I guess I could have taken some of the advice I've gotten in the past and called him the rest of the way in and cut his throat with my pocket knife, but that's messy, I'd rather club him to death with my gun butt. Having reviewed the circumstances of the miss, it's not surprising---the sun was DIRECTLY in my eyes, and I'd been standing in a chin-high thicket with my gun to my shoulder for twenty minutes. It was just a tiny bit shaky by the time the bird popped his head up out of the weeds. I'll be after 'em again in the morning.

David lea---you have the proper perspective on the situation.

FinChaser---I abide by the rules set down by an old Indian guide: No talk while eat. No drink while hunt.

dang mr george you not numba one...lol

Turkey gobbler alla time numba one!

Sometimes you need to employ the all-time secret weapon for turkey hunting: Sneak in before daylight, climb a tree, put on lots of blaze orange. Putting out deer pee doesn't hurt, something about it seems to attract turkey gobblers best of all.

Of course the same strategy seems to work well on pigs and squirrels, too.

Obama would have blamed Busch for missing.
