This is the first time in 8 years that I have missed a turkey. And at 35 yards. In the open. Standing still. With his neck stretched out. If I had been bowhunting I could think of a million excuses. Yea, with his lightning like reflexes the old bird jumped the shot and the pellets went right over him,,,,or a twig got in the way.
I setup perfect, called him in perfect, and just blew the shot. And after 3 hard days of hunting the same bird.

Ok I'll quit crying about it and move on. I did make a plaque though to display my empty 3" shell. I made sure it was big enough to add a few more in the future.
In all honesty though it was a great hunt.
It did make me realize once again that bagging the bird isnt why I do it.
