Missed a nice one yesterday at 11:00 AM. About a 10" beard, 35 yards out. It hung up on my decoy & started getting nervous, so I let him have it, but he just turned around & walked away. I guess my vintage 1978 Ithica 37 doesn't have the range that I thought, or my estimation of yardage was wrong. My last turkey did the flop dance, this one just walked away. Instead of trading up to a 3.5" supermag, I think I'll try to call him a little closer next week. The good news is I wacked a couple of hogs that afternoon, so the freezer will be filled regardless...
