Take the gunsmiths word that he boresightedthe new red dot scope he installed on my shotgun. Missed a great gobbler from 20 yards, only to find out later on the range that it was shooting 3 feet low at 20 yards!

They say you learn something everyday!!!

Boresighting a shotgun is not the same as boresighting a rifle. It only gets you close. The pattern your gun throws will be different with different loads and even brands of shells, after boresightng experiment with which shell/manufacturer gives you the best pattern in your gun, then sight that pattern in with your red dot scope. Shoot only that brand/load shell, another brand/load will probably shoot differently. At least this is true out of my cheap old Mossberg 500.

Think just because a tom stops gobbling he's gone. Take a questionable shot through thick cover. Fail to bring thermacell or spray when hunting warm temps. Fail to bring toilet paper. Fail to be patient, and that's tough for me. Forget to bring a mask and gloves. I still killed the turkey though, somehow. Bring decoy with me hunting and forgetting the stake. I had to use a stick instead. The list could probably go on. We have all messed up and we don't want to repeat our mishap. Problem is, we probably will anyway.
Ditto on every one of those ;)

Kick an armadillo. Don't ask me why I did it... I was walking to my treestand in 9th grade and saw an armadillo about 2-3 yards away in the bushes.Out of nowhere, I though it wouldbe funny to kick it. Ijust kicked the life out ofthe poor thing...I didn't think that I'd kill it. :(

HOLY CRAP!!! I have to agree! But I didn't kill mine. I snuck up to it, and kicked it, and it about broke my foot. I fell over in agony.

Not one of my brightest moments...[&:]
