I had a screw up yesterday :](*,) I think we all have 'em. That's how we learn.
Hunted a night spot after taking a bird in the morning, and had hens all around me the whole time. Kept trying to get a tom to sound off, but couldn't get one to gobble, started thinking they weren't around. Finally after couple hours I heard one gobble a long ways off, 15 minutes later he gobbled again this time much closer and he had another with him, I knew they were coming. Then no more gobbles.
It was getting almost sun down, the hens were roosting and I basically figured the toms had given up so I just started to gather my stuff and bam, busted, there they were right next to me :](*,) Iearned my lesson for the day :oops:

My daughter missed her first shot on a turkey this morning. Then we flushed another and it flew broadside about 30 yds away but she didn't shoot. When I asked her why she didn't shoot she said "I didn't know I could" She must have thought the bird would be standing on the ground :o :thumbsup1:
