I head out dejected,mad at myself and ...hungry. Missed breakfast. what was I thinking.
I start to ease out and see a limb move a bit and ....
After Breakfast and short nap I decide to go set a blind I have in the corner of my Uncles Field. I see Turkeys there every afternoon from the road and I`m feeling the need to shoot on for a confidence builder.I porbably shot 50 arrows after my miss and had to get even with`em.
Long story short I get in the blind and it is HOT.Its in the sun and I ain`t liking it.My hats off to you Fellas that hunt Antelope from one and sit all day. I sit a few minutes maybe 20 and pull an Orange out I brought and peel and eat it. Thought about Biggie and chuckled. I didn`t have doughnuts.
Wipe my hands off on my pants...My Mom would have yelled at me for that and looked up.A Gobbler in the Food plot/field. He pecks here pecks there and mainly does what Turkeys do with not even a small chance of being in a hurry to do it.He is coming down the edge towards me so I get the Big Five on ready....I`m starting to shake and close my eyes and tell myself to calm down and pick a spot. The Turkeys about 15 steps give or take and I shoot. The arrow hits where I was looking and the Bird does the unthinkable. Takes to the air . Bad
I listen and get a bearing. He flys in the Branch. For you yanks thats a small creek down here. I set back and text a couple of Friends and gather my pack and stuff and get to looking...
