What I didnt see the first time i scaned the field was the turkey on a slight jog right towards me (i noticed it when i watched it later) so a minute goes by and i look to my left and see a gobler running right to me, I get my bow ready he doesnt even know im there, He slows, sturts, gobbles, and goes to strut once more slightly turning his body towards me at no more than ten yards. By this time my heart was beating steadaly somewhere in my throat. I draw back slowly just after i adjust the camera and let fly. Needless to say the bird walked away laughing probably similar to the dog on the original duck hunt game just laughing. I had missed at ten yards IDIOT!!!!!
It happens.At least it sounds you had fun!
