Years back I didn't bring home 3 longbeards from 3 different farms in 1 MORNING! I say didn't bring home because the last one I did hit but couldn't find it even came back with a lab. First one misjudged distance, thought 40 was more like 50. 2nd one scared me walking and callin windy mid AM (always call as if there's a gobbler behind every tree and where you can set up), He answered way off then next thing I know he comes running in to 20 yards, I shot both eyes open head off stock right over his head. 3rd one just before lunch I cut him off as he came by 15 yards moving fast all I could see was his neck and head bobbing by. Panicked didn't try and stop him so strike 1 then he went airborne in my face. Didn't aim strike 2 then 3rd shot body rocked him and he went cart wheelin into briars and honeysuckle FEATHERS EVERYWHERE but no dead bird found. Hard lessons learned Keep your head up and let me me if you miss 4 in the same day at 4 different setups LOL STILL WAKE UP IN A COLD SWEAT!
