I was out scouting a stateforest today at lunch. I came across what appeared to be a bedding area, and kicked up a deer while scouting. I decided to get out of there with the intention of going back tomorrow afternoon and on my way back to the car a turkey crosses the path in front of me. I walked up next to where she ctrossed to see 7 hens feeding 20 yds off the trail. I had my bow in the car, and I have necer gotten a turkey, so I quietly hurried back to the car to get my bow, make my way back and the hens are still feeding. Now my heart is pumping, I move in slowly to about 15 yds and draw, they must have heard me on the draw and started scurrying a bit, but one walks right in front of me at about 20 yds and stops right next to a tree. I released and WHACK, right into the darn tree! The hen didn't even flinch. I kinda laughed at myself, walked in to get my arrow, the turkeys scatter. Replaying the shot on my way back to the car I realized I didn't use my peep site at all. Dummy! Lesson learned!

Sorry for the long post. Congrats to everyone who scored today. On a side note, the bedding area I came across... I found no droppings, I am starting to doubt it was a bedding area. Has anyone come across bedding areas with no droppings?
