Have you ever “missed” a turkey?

[BowfinClassic]

I’ve never been too into turkey hunting but go sometimes mostly to look for sheds. I was hunting with a buddy one morning and he rolled one up and it took off running. Looked for a good while. Never ended up finding the bird but found probably my coolest set of matching sheds. Not the biggest but the most unique. I thought it was a great morning. My buddy didn’t.

Not many people actually miss turkeys. They hit, but they just don't hit the central nervous system. 1 out of 3 birds I kill on public land is full of someone else's pellets. Also a good dog will find a crippled turkey fast.
