Turkeys were hard to come by here due to our harsh winter last year.. I did blow it though on 2 big toms the first week. I am thinking it was because of changing my shotgun shells without doing enough testing with my shotgun.. After messing up on 2 birds I gave those shells away and went back to what I was using.. I soon picked up a big jake and then blew it while trying to sneak up on a large tom. I had 3 or 4 birds gobbling like crazy late in our season but they would not show.. It was a different area and I wished I had scouted it out better..
Lesson learned not to change shells without first testing them out good. Also try and do better scouting of new areas if I intend to hunt them..
