I am just now being able to type this, still extremely pissed at myself. Opening morning brought 3 gobbles from 3 turkeys that i knew right where they were. I set up on a road and against the same tree i killed one last year against. They only gobbled a couple times on the limb and when they flew down i started calling to them soflty. None answered. I got ready adn shortly after i see the lead one coming down a huge hill straight to my decoy strutting. He proceeds to strut all the way to my decoy at abouot 27 steps. Goes in to half strut and i sent some 6's his way. He flew stright up about 10' then hit the ground running and then took flight.
I couldnt believe it and have replayed the scene 100 times in my head. I can only guess i wasnt all the way down on the gun and didnt line up both beads and rushed the shot.
I am still very frustrated and the wife has told me i have been pouting worse than our 3 year old several times.
