Mr. Longbeard, Let's stop the bickerin and talk turkey hunter to turkey hunter.I really believe anyonewould increase their success if they adapt to the situation.Every bird is diffrent.It's not rocket science.If I can do it anyone can.Personally I prefer to hunt tougher birds.I don't care if I ever shoot another bird.I just enjoy the challenge.Adrian knows me better than anyone.I'll bet he can't count the # of times I've had a nice longbeard in range and chose not to shoot.Those birds gave us a good hunt and for me that was enough.He can tell you no matter what happened,I missed,someone else bumped the bird,the birds just wouldn't cooperate.I've never walked out of the turkey woods upset or sad or mad.I'm just thankful for each and every hunt.I really hope that someday you'll feel the same way.
