Default got my 1st shot on a turkey, & missed

got out yesterday morning for the 1st time this year, didn't see a single deer, but watched several turkey enter my food plot. I was up in a tree stand, on top of a ridge next to the food plot. I decided to climb down and sneak to the edge of the treeline next to the food plot, where I counted 13 nice birds. 5 were hens, the rest were jakes with 6 to 9 inch beards, sitting on the far side of the food plot. after some coaxing, they started my way. but once they got to where they heard me, and didn't find a bird they got a little nervous and started back, by the time the last one stopped looking in my direction, I was able to draw and let one fly, and missed. It was almost 45 yards out, and a little beyond my comfort range, but gave it a try anyway. It was pretty exciting. later I set my pop up blind in the same spot. Hope to get another crack at them again. Tomorrow am is suppose to be 42 degrees, so hopefully the deer will be moving. good luck to all!
