Non lethal hit

[CT Spur Collector]

They are tough if you don't head/neck shoot em'. Called a nice tom in one year for a buddy, got him to 20 yards, picture perfect hunt. He started to turn to leave, buddy couldn't get a good head shot. As he was walking away, buddy left him have it in the back of the head......

We thought.....tom dropped like a ton of bricks, buddy turned around and gave me the thumbs up.....I yelled: "he's running"!!  nEver saw him again. Makes you want to puke..

You rolled him...  he's dead.  You just didn't find him or have the opportunity to shoot him several more times on the way out.  Go practice with dove loads to get your confidence up.

I killed one this season with lead 6 shot all around his lower breast and legs this year. Definitely not from this season and the bird was very healthy
