Will They Come Back, When ????????

[Lady Forge]

I was bowhunting for turkey today. I had a group of 9 birds approach from behind me and worked their way in front of me, I put my 30 yard pin on one of the birds and released the arrow only to watch the arrow go over the turkeys back, obviously the bird was closer than I had estimated[X(][:@] Fortunatly it was a clean miss, now the turkeys were spooked and quickly vacated the area.
Will they come back to this area ?
If so how long do you think before they will come back?
I plan on letting the area rest until mid next week.
Thanks for any help you can give me

If they like the area and weren' t just passing through, they should be back. I think a day or two would be fine to wait. They do tend to wander quite a bit (at least where I hunt), so they may move on anyway, not because they spooked, just because they want to. Good luck

RayC; This is a river bottom that is kinda shaped like a D ,and is bordered on all sides by oak ridges, I found that they are feeding on the river bottom and where they are drinking at the river is a nice sandy beach area they are roosting on the ridges above the river bottom on a pretty regular basis, sometimes I have sat in my stand and watched them fly up to roost right over me
Thanks for the help, Ill be back there to try again next week.

We have shot birds out of a flock and they were back the next day ,just a bit harder to get close too ,but still huntable . I don' t think you have a thing to worry about .
