How We Miss Turkeys
This week I share 6 reasons how we miss turkeys when turkey hunting.
It seems so easy. All we have to do is get our shot within a foot of the turkeys head at 40 yards, and one pellet from our shell is surely to hit the mark and down our bird for us. But it doesn't happen sometimes, and we watch in disgust as the turkey we worked so hard to get within gun range of us flies off into another county.
There are some common causes to our missing a shot at a wild turkey, and that is exactly what I'm talking about on today's show.
