Missed one this morning

[ZachMarkus]

Everything went just like its supposed to except the part where I missed. I called him right off roost straight to my gun, he strutted to 25 yards and I raised his head and shot, he took off flying like i didn't even touch him. I'm still kicking myself over it. I thought I would never miss one since I put that red dot scope on my gun but apparently I was wrong.

One of my greatest fears turkey hunting. Sorry to hear that for you. I use a red dot too, and love it! Get back at it though...nothing like a good redemption hunt after such a thing.

 

[muddyboots]

Wow. I'd have to check my zero

 

[Tennessee Lead]

I hate you missed it sucks. I've done it more times than I care to remember.
Now go redeem yourself

Know the feeling...miss a couple every year it seems, it sucks until you go back and kill a big one.

Lol it happens man, anyone who says they never miss is lying or it just hasn't happened yet.

Yup, or they haven't been hunting very long.

Called in 2 for Pop the other day...he smooth missed at 22 steps. The sinking feeling as that bird gained altitude up and over the pines...nothing quite like it. I don't even get upset these days at the occasional miss; it happens.

Check youe gun but it does happen even if they don't admit it everyone has missed. But I'd check your gun just in case.

Missed one this evening. Had 1 Tom, 2 jakes and 2 hens come about 150 yards from me. They payed no attention to my decoys and the property i hunt is a 200 acre pasture field with big oaks and rolling hills. Once they got below the hill my Indian skills kicked in and i decided to stalk them. Came up over a hill and thought it was about 55-60 yards. The Tom pegged me and i decided to shoot. Things didn't go as planned

When I first started turkey hunting,I killed my first 7 birds and I got to big for my britches lol.I was telling people I dont know how someone misses with a shotgun, well I got humbled I missed my next 7 birds and I heard a old timer say if someone says they haven't missed, then they haven't killed many turkey's.

I missed one this year as well. Better luck next time.

I missed the first bird that I ever shot. Sickening feeling in my stomach as i walked back to the truck. You'll get them though. Good luck.

I put a red dot on mine a couple years back. If nothing else it helps me calm down seeing that bright red dot resting on its head. You still need to try and sight the pattern in.
