First day should have killed him but an unknown obstruction held him up. Then yesterday I was on him for 11.2 miles and finally had my shot. Only problem was there was a house about 200 yards behind him and even though the turkey and I were on public land I didn't feel comfortable taking the shot. He then followed a hen onto private and I circled it and he never came off of it. I was ready for round three this morning but he was a no show. If there were other turkeys in the area I probably wouldn't have been on him so hard but options were pretty scarce and I was on limited time. Sent from my SM-S901U using TapatalkLike 11+ miles? That's quite a stalk Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

You are missing out on a lot of prime scouting time you could be gaining knowledge for upcoming seasons plus maybe running into a turkey that wants to play the game. If I knowingly mess up on a turkey I may give him three tries, otherwise it's two at best. Sometimes I go back and he is gone...maybe dead, maybe he went for a walk? Maybe I pack him out. If you places to hunt I wouldn't spend a lot of time on the same bird. Actually, if you only have a couple places to hunt it's all the more reason to find a new. Just my opinion.
