Missed A LOT of turkeys before putting a scope on my gun.

left my gun at home

Left cell phone on ring - loud. Had 3 different birds working, 2 on final approach. They showed up and started towards dekes. Then phone rang. Checkmate. I knew the caller - answered with "Bill, God as my witness I hate your guts."

I forgot my glasses one time...also put the stalk on some vultures thinking they were turkeys another time

Leaving a hot gobbler with fear of being late for work.  Yeah not too smart?

[sixbird]

Took a friend turkey hunting and as we were getting out of the truck, in the dark, I asked if he wanted to leave his phone in the truck.
He said, no, he'd just turn it off.
I figured, o.k., that should work...
Well, later in the morning, I called in three gobblers. Called 'em right up in front of us. They were standing right in our faces, maybe 20 yds. Nothing between us but air.
My buddy was in the process of slowly raising his gun when his phone went off!
To make matters worse, the alarm was a fire truck horn!
I'm there cutting and cackling trying to cover the sound or at least being a distraction from the fire horn..
Well, they left before he could get the gun shouldered.
Turns out, I was able to get them to come back. Guess they hadn't heard a fire horn before.
My friend was about to snap a cap on the lead one and off goes his phone again with some other equally unnatural sound and off they ran.
I could have stomped that phone right there in front of him. I'm sure the thought crossed his mind too.
It took us a while to laugh about that one

In a sentence tell what the biggest foul up you're guilty of when turkey hunting.

I'll go first, I left my gun laying beside the road and realized it 45 minutes and 30 miles later, and thank the Lord it was still there.
