I am also sorry to hear this news car. As others have already stated you tried hard to find it. Unfortunately this stuff happens.

I have little to report as well. I blew on a big bird Wednesday morning. I did take a shot at it. He was around 40 yards and held up on me. I felt very confident with that range as I use an old goose gun that easily has the range. I am guessing it is because I tried a different shell on him. I only had a couple of old shells and bought a box of Federal 3RDs. While they looked good I don’t think that my gun handles them well after I saw it fly off. The area is wooded so there is a very slight chance of finding where he went off to. It was the second biggest bird that I have ever seen up here and it bothers me on how he managed to fly off.. The next morning as I was driving into another area to check out up the road in front of me one ran across the road. I am working nights right now so I am only getting the mornings in.
Good luck everyone still out there hunting.
