I missed one in between 40-45 yds.... Was set up in the woods and there was plenty of foliage up and the bird I was working was in the field next to the wood lot I was in.I had a small window to the field to shoot to the field and that's exactly where he gave me a shot.Put the sights on him and pulled the trigger but he flew away and only left a few feathers behind.
That was before I found Hevi-shot.I truly believe I woulda killed that bird if I was shooting HS and not lead.I passed up the same bird 2 days later because I felt he was out of range and didn't have the confidence at a 40yd shot and let him walk.
But I did take 2 other birds that were within 30 yds.
So officially 2 for 3.

I shot at 1 bird this year and killed 1. Spent the rest of the year trying to get the kids on birds.

Nope. 13 for 13 this year.... I hope to keep it that way but we all know if you keep shooting at them it'll happen again.

No misses, no shots taken. Didn't get the chance to hunt KS or OK this year... not enough time or money.
I did get the privelege of calling in a bird for a great young lady this year, so it was definitely not a total loss.

I missed one up close. First year with super tight choke. Lesson learned. Then I shot too far thinking the H13 was magic. Lesson learned. Said I would open it up and go back to lead, but I won't. It was said that these setups were not for the inexperienced, well now I have some experience. If I miss another next year I'll have some more experience. It won't be because I shot too far. I just don't know weather to buy shells now or see what comes out next year.

I had never missed before this year. Then I missed twice.
Ugh. It still hurts to type that even.

Missed my 2nd and 3rd birds since begining to hunt turkeys! I sure hate to miss, and hate it even more when I miss twice in the same season.

Missed 1 out of 6. Come to find out the rifled sights on my shotgun have different points of impact between my dad and I. And that POI differs a large amount between 40 and 47 yards. Should have known something was up after I didn't get but just a few pellets in the first bird of the season.
