d man, had a golden opportunity at a nice bird yesterday and blew it. had two adults and a jake going for 45 minutes and finally a nice tom came in about 30 yards in some brush. thought i could squeeze a shot in, what a idiot. didn't even knock a feather off. well at least the bird survived, better than a wound. sure makes you want to rewind the tape about 5 seconds and redo doesn't it? Been on a pretty good roll until then. Everyone needs a wake up call sooner or later. It still was a very good hunt , just forgot the bird . Good luck all.
