WHATS YOUR BIGGEST GOOF WHILE TURKEY HUNTING
Mine happened like this
it was my first time hunting turkeys in PA i found a good spot to set up and new they roosted about 75yrds away was using my H&R 12gauge single shot
i sat down let out a few calls and continued setting up out of nowhere i heard them goble very close i called again and ruffled the leaves they walked out right in front of me there was a huge bearded bird that stoped almost in line with my shotgun out of exitement i pulled back the hammer and "CLICK" never put a round in the gun birds flew everywhere and i went home hungry
just thought ide pass along a funny storie that happened to me and here a few to give me a good laugh

When I was younger, I thought I took my fannypack, however, it was my brothers. He was shooting a 20 gauge, I was shooting a 12. Long walk back to the truck with my head hung low and gobblers talking everywhere.

RE: BEST GOOF
A guy told me about going turkey hunting one time.
He got to where he was hunting and heard a gobble.
So he grabbed his gun and opened the glove box grabbed some shells.
In the woods he set up
Loaded his gun and got the tom in gun range.
Aimed and pulled the trigger.
Click the turkey ran.
He opened his gun only to find a roll of
Life Savers where the shell was supossed to be.
He grabbed up a roll of Life Savers with the shells.

RE: BEST GOOF
I've had sooooo many goofs over the years I can't count em all but the one that really sticks in my mind is I called in a gobbler,saw him commin from a ways off,MAN what a beard.Kept commin in and I kept watchin that beard.Got so caught up in watchin that rope swayin I forgot to shoot till he was about 15 yds away.Down he went.I shot right where I was lookin.The wad was buried in his chest and I blew that beard clean off.He weighed 22 lb with 1 1/2" hooks but ended up with a 2 1/2" stub.I did gather up strands of the beard layin around.They were over 9" long.I figured with the 2" stub 9" strands and what the wad cut off he had to of had close to a 12" beard.dumb,dumb,dumb!!!!!!!!!!
