A tale of two turkeys....

I took Will out to sit on my deer stand and since I had already filled my antler less tag, I just took the 20 gauge and went and sat around the corner from him. Well, I interrupted his hunt on two different occasions cause the turkeys wouldnt leave me alone.
One Turkey got lucky and the other didnt.
Phasianidae Beak Grass Galliformes Terrestrial animal

Nope. Just 20 gauge turkey loads about four inches away. Red dot said I was clear, barrell said I wasnt. Really glad it blew though instead of back at me.

I bet that was one heck of a loud surprise.
Looks like a slug hole
At 4 inches, it pretty much was a slug.

I have done that twice on dead tree branches since going to a red dot. Once in Nebraska and once on a rio in Kansas with Rat hunting with me. We doubled , but I had to second shot mine out of the air. :D

I cant decide whether or not I want to go back to the bead. I do know of at least two birds that the scope cost me, but what I dont know is how many I would have missed over the years if I didnt have it.

Always something ain't it?:D
I didnt even tell about my crossbow mishap on a decent buck when I had a douphous moment at the last second on a 20 yard broadside chip shot and decided for some unknown reason to rest the crossbow like a rifle against the tree. Not only did I miss, the limb slapping the side of the tree blew the crossbow back on me and nearly flipped me outta the tree. Lol

I won't go back. Those contorted (he came in behind you) shots can be pulled off better with a red dot when you can't quite look straight down the barrel.
