25 steps?? say it ain't sooooo...... you are just trying to darn hard http://www.gulfcoastfishingconnectio...isc/giggle.gif ...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.
You gots ta aim it like its a rifle when they are that close. Just as in bow hunting half the fun is seeing how close you can get them vs seeing how far away you can hit one. The 101 is for AFTER the hunt.
Thank God somebody finally told me how to do it right. I always wondered why I put that red dot scope on my shotgun---now the truth has been revealed and the light dawns. Now maybe I can determine whether to keep blowing that bugle call or just settle for a loudspeaker for my MP3 player. Hafter quit callin' them cluckers in so close---shoo 'em away afore I shoots 'em.
9 shots for me to get a gray squirrel running at me,(and almost up my leg) darn full choke 410 ,2-1/2in shells unloaded 5, missed, 2 more misses, then put in the 3in he was laughing at me on the side of a tree(15feet), shaking his tail.... 2nd 3in one got the job done....new gun for the grand kids and never shot it before....but sure was able to miss easy.....an expensive squirrel and the last time I ever used that gun again....I do better with a 22 pistol.
I've always maintained that the .410 is a gun for experts, not kids. It's hard enough for me to hit something with a 12 ga. That .410 was my first shotgun when I was a kid, and I couldn't hit the ground with it if I dropped it---gave me a complex that I'm still not sure I've conquered. When I finally got my hands on a 20 ga., squirrels began to die. I fully agree about the .22---at least it has good sights on it.
Y'all,George wasn't looking for help,he was using this site to express his fustration on a stupid mistake he had made. How many birds have you killed or help other people kill George? A hundred,more or less?
Anybody that turkey hunts that ain't missed one .... Just hasn't shot at enough em... Hate it for you Haywire
Been a lot of wild turkey sandwiches. I started helping my dad make the turkey callers he sold back in 1955, but wasn't able to call up my first gobbler until 1960.

Well shucks, I guess I gave away my double naught top secret turkey hunting tips for nothing. :)Quote:

Since #r already said good luck, I'll try annuit coeptis.
I joined the club with you this morning Haywire!
I'll be happy just to see one
Don't the woods have an awful, hollow, echoing silence after a shot that misses a turkey?
It isn't quite as bad as the sound of the cry of an orphan babe for the mother it will never know, but almost.
