painful to watch - & painful to remember mine ... but ya, it looks like he flung the shot over the bird's head (or maybe just in front of it, hard to tell)

The number one reason folks miss with a shotgun is they raise their cheek off the stock. I remember missing a buck when I was a kid and damn near getting physically sick over it. That's how a turkey miss feels at 48 lol.

Missed one Monday. He gobbled at 30 yards, strutted and was spitting and drumming. Got everything but the turkey nuggets. Took my head off the stock and shot right over him. Got to dust yourself off and get back after them. Have been having flashbacks all week so it is HARD!!!!

I missed my first ever shot at one last weekend and I'm still butt hurt over it. Maybe tomorrow.

I had 2 seasons where I missed 1 the first season and 2 the next season. I hit one and have no idea how he lived. It made me sick worrying I’d wounded all 3. I put some of that ace bandage tape on my stock right where my cheek rests and wrapped another piece to touch with my nose. I haven’t missed again. I make a note to make sure my nose is touching that tape before I shoot.

A miss is a enormous kick in the nutts

What General said happens lot - watch the show - get excited and forget to get your cheek down on the stock - May line up the bead but it will not matter if check not down on stock - also sucks when u get them 15 yards r tighter - super tight pattern


Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self

I started turkey hunting 5 years ago and only killed a couple, one Jake and one 12 incher, but I missed a really long beard at 12 steps and that eats me alive to this day its about like missing a good buck

I missed one last year that really got to me. I had worked him for several hours. Best gobbling bird is ever hunted. He would close to just close enough I could see him and then leave. I would go quiet and he would close again then leave again. I'd move and he would close again only to leave again. Must have done this a dozen times. Finally got a good spot where I got a good shot on him at 40 and didn't notice the smallish dead tree laying horizontal right at barrel level at about 10 yards. Couldn't see it in the red dot, but I put the whole load into it and the bird flew away never to be seen again. I kicked rocks all the way back to the truck.

Meh, misses never bother me. It just means I got all the good out of the turkey and get to hear him gobble another day. Turkeys are all about the same imo.
