Do You Think You Will?

[guesswho]

This is in relation to the "Did you miss any gobblers this year?" thread.

[guesswho]

Me?  I'd bet my all my turkey gear I'll either miss one or see at least one missed this spring.  Sometimes those are the best hunts, most memorable anyway. 

[Duke0002]

It's been a couple of years since my last miss.  I'm due!   

[turkey slayer]

I hope not!

[Tail Feathers]

You need to get some friends who can shoot.

Probably! It sucks, but it happens! Your right though it does make for some good stories and memories!

[chatterbox]

With me, it's almost certain. I only hope I get an oppurtunity to redeem myself!

This is by design.  Turkeys last longer around people who don't shoot very well

the first one i ever seen missed was on a hunt with a buddy that used to work with me. we hunted hard till 8-9 am and finelly got on some birds and he missed.  man he was mad he works 2nd shift and hunted all morning with no sleep he said he coulda been in bed

hope i dont miss any 

[Struttinhusker]

Three years ago I missed three.  Haven't missed any since so I hope I got it out of my system.

[guesswho]

My Dad has one of the most classic misses I've ever seen.  And I have it on tape.  I was behind him about 50-75 yards calling.  He was standing up facing a big Oak tree.  There were about 20 turkeys in a group coming to the calling.  A couple of longbeards a few jakes and some hens.  I filmed them coming right to the tree my Dad was at.  He had the gun pointing straight up because he didn't know which side of the tree the birds were going to go.  The birds got to the tree and some went right and some went left. The first birds were no more than three feet from my dad when they spotted him and spooked.  My Dad jumped around the tree and tried to pull off a quick shot but missed.  On the tape you can see him miss and then birds flying everywhere and you can still hear turkeys putting and wing beats and my Dad turns his head and looks at me with his face mask still on and says says turn that @%$ @!*% son of a Btchn camera off.  He even threw in a few new words I didn't know existed.  Even something about some new kind of turkey I'd never heard of.

Probably so...WHat can I say it happens.

I don't plan on missing, but I'm hunting with my fiancee and I'm not sure how good she is with a shotgun, but I plan on getting her out practicing with a shotgun before the season.

thats funny and priceless

[Crutch]

Guess Who, that is too funny, I could see that happening to anyone. What a great memory. I have used a tree to hide behind and it gets nerve racking keeping up with them and trying to stay hidden.  I backed up from the tree and shot gangster style.
