While turkey hunting this weekend, we call in a big tom. He is 25 yrds away. My partner shoots, and the bird goes down. As we jump up and run down hill, the tom stands up and fly's away. we watched him land. we must have walked 1/2 mile and didn't see him.
question 1
has this ever happened to you.
#2
is their something different I could've done to prevent this.

#3

by the way, he was shooting 3 1/2 , win. supremes. #5shot. with a super full choke that patterned great out to35 yards.

thanks guys.
