New boots, new underwear, witness protection so his friend dont remind him of this accident of stupidity for the rest of his life. Belly crawling? What was he thinking?

Best not to make a big deal of this or some 'wanker' will get it in their mind to legislate a requirement for hunters to wear steel shank and toe hunting boots.

I have posted the 4 gobblers I've gotten this spring, so I guess I should post this too. I had a chance to fill my season limit in AL this morning on a nice bird, and missed. I have a lot of excuses, but no turkey. frown

He was 25 yds away soon after flying down, but I couldn't shoot him because a hen was in the way. I wasn't concerned; I thought I would have another chance, and I had several, but something always blocked my view. After about 20 minutes of that, he was about to go over a hill and be gone, but I had clear view of his head and neck and shot just before he disappeared. He flew away and sailed over the tops of the trees.

I don't think I hit him, but it is still a sick feeling to watch one fly away. I hunt several states each spring and always strive for a perfect season. That doesn't mean filling every tag, it means getting every turkey I shoot at with one clean shot. So this season will be flawed no matter what else happens.

At least I get to keep hunting. I also have lots of cliches, but still no turkey. smile


Good hunting and shooting to all.

Coosa, someone who says they've never missed a turkey hasn't killed many. It happens to all of us. Gil

Yup, sho does...Geo

My personal favorite way to miss one is to shoot a 2" sapling five feet off my gun barrel which disappeared from my vision when I focused on the target.

All four taken with an ounce of 9's.

Last evening there (last night), having been on site 15 days. Good to be home.

Congrats to Wingshooter, those come from Texas?

I finished my AL limit today. This one was close and got a load of TSS #10. Good luck to all those still turkey hunting.
