It happens man. You started out on a strong note in your first season. Mistakes are unavoidable at times. Now that we got that out of the way....how far was he for kicks and giggles?

Yesterday in the rain that wasn't supposed to happen I screwed up and shot over a gobbler.... what's that white thing flying way up there I asked myself...my reply the plastic wad DA!
Why rush? The last few years Ive quit that crap. Used to be, if I wasn't done by the following Sunday after opener, something was bad wrong. I don't have anything to prove anymore. lol.Fill that last tag
I got in a hurry on the shot, also forgot to remove the sling, bead was completely blocked.. I kicked myself in the butt but it was a great hunt. Had a gobbler to my left. One in front of me and one behind me. The one in front of me was the farthest off I'm guessing several hundred yards away down in the bottom of the valley. With my yugoty yelps and clucks he was on me in a few minutes and I forgot patience and preparation! I'm avoiding that spot till next Friday. Trying another one in the morning.It happens man.

Sometimes the worst calls work. And sometimes a real live hen sounds worse than my worst callsI got in a hurry on the shot, also forgot to remove the sling, bead was completely blocked..

Perfect when are we going.Slept till 9:30 this morning, felt great. Haven't accomplished much and I've killed enough birds I'm not hunting unless the conditions are damn near perfect anymore.
I was never in the service but used to hunt any day I could. A few years ago I made the decision that I will not knowingly hunt on crap weather days. Sure you can kill them on days like today, but lifes too short to be miserable, wet, cold, etc. I pick and choose my days based on what I like the best.Yeah just chilled today, people may knock this but I do not hunt in the rain. I HATE the rain after 23 years in the Army and laying in the mud and sleeping in the rain for days on end I will not get out in it. I won't even fish in a covered shelter and drink beer in the rain lol.
Yeah and the wife likes it also, she can't say we don't spend time together during hunting season lol. Win win situationI was never in the service but used to hunt any day I could.
