I have missed a lot of turkeys. Red dots have been a tremendous help for me, but man I used to miss them. I have learned over the years that some of those “misses” aren’t clean misses and I have found several turkeys in the manner that you did. I take a lot of time to look really hard, and pay attention to the reaction the bird has to the shot. One tip I would give, is that if they are hit, they don’t often go very far. If they fly, they are pretty close to where they landed. They will take the time to bury themselves in a log pile, briar bed, or the thickest thing they can find. Take your time, and check out all of the thickets around. And, have a gun.
Good on you for making the effort to find him.
Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right
They don't put Championship rings on smooth hands
