What do you think is the most used excuse?

Here are my guesses:
1. He was call shy
2. He was henned up
3. He had lock jaw
4. The weather was bad (Too hot,cold,windy,rainy,dry or ?)
5. Another hunter messed me up.
 
Henned up is by far the most used excuse i hear! And to tell the truth its been my cause for failure more than once!
 
Ok I am bored and already ate my orange for lunch. :)

1. He was call shy
I have learned, as a good grasshopper should, that MANY times the best call is left in the pocket.

2. He was henned up
I gotta admit I have used this one. :(

3. He had lock jaw
While the "real" turkey hunters will say that bushwhacking or cutting him off isn't "real" hunting, scouting and the smart use of terrain and binoculars can locate a bird for you.
Not near as much fun as when they are knocking the leaves off around you though.

4. The weather was bad (Too hot,cold,windy,rainy,dry or ?)
No such thing.

5. Another hunter messed me up.
I am sure this happens on public ground, heck I have seen it happen on private land but I, luckily, haven't had that much problem with it.

none of the above !
mine is "i must have bumped my rifle on a tree on the way in !" lol jk
 
Henned up isnt an excuse its Reality
Call shy statements usually mean OVER-CALLED
Weather will tight lip em but I would go with weather from all of these because most statements are true
 
henned up is also just an excuse, you have to learn to play the game with hens included, they can still be killed unless you give up on him because he is 'henned up'
