I really screwed this one up today! I had a bird hammerin it about 40yds away from me this morning just on the other side of some thick stuff in a swamp bottom. It was just thick enough to where I couldnt see him. I heard him spittin' and drummin', he was so close!!! About thirty minutes into the stand-off, another bird was bringing up the rear from about 7 miles away ;D He actually made it to me in a matter of 10-15 mnutes, and made me change gears. I stood up and got back in the burned area only to see him running in and out the pines. Well, the stand-off started with him also. About an hour into it, I decided to crawl a littl closer. As soon as I made a noise he would gobble. So, I just sat there and watched hm out in the smoke filled pines, strutting back and forth. He finally gave me a shot I was comfortable with, and I strait up missed!!!!!!! *cry* Its hard enough on me with these PLB's I hunt, but when I miss like today, it kills me inside!!!! I told my wife over the phone and she just made it worse *wha* ;D Wish I had some pics for y'all.

Better to miss completely, then wound him and not get him......
He'll be there for another day..... RkLu
Keep your chin up, even the experts miss.......

Maybe this is the season of misses? Keep your chin up. I just did it last week. I hadn't missed one in almost 8 years. Guess we need some reminders now and then!

Yep, It's those dang burn it, high falootin new fangled guns!!!!!! Just take a 12 side by side double full 30 inch barrell and anything within 40 yards will roll! *cry* Just kidding guys, when that heart goes to pumping it's hard to stay focused on a target that moves as much as a ole Tom!

Thanks for the lift-up fellas. I dont see how guys can pull off a bow kill with these birds. It takes all I have to keep composure with my gun at the ready. I guess it wouldnt be that bad if yor in a blind, but its still a bow. I have two tags left, so they haveny beatin' me down yet.... *wha*
p.s. Jason, if you read this, i was certain I was gonna get your tote bloody man!! Next time man
