A Video to get your blood pumping...ENJOY

Post by gophert »

I hunted this bird a number of times and every time he gave me the slip. He's a dandy with a double beard.

Yep....that TSS went by him so fast he never knew what winded him. Just keeping it real. I'm the only fool brave enough to show great quality HD misses!

When you first see him is where he hit the ground when he flew down. We had decided that we would try and get plenty of video footage of him. He was at 40 yards when he hit the ground. My buddy told me to shoot when he was at 15 and walking fast to my right. I got greedy with the camera and let him get too close. I now body shoot them at that range :turkeywave:

I thoroughly enjoyed the video and know that pain. Had my son with me last year when I missed one at 20 yds. What I didn't miss was the tree that was at 15yds :o But hey, if we killed em every time, it wouldn't be what it is for us

Great footage regardless. We live in an era of saturated hunting shows/videos that only show kill shots with heavy metal music playing in the background. Honestly, that is why I only watch one or two hunting shows nowadays that actually have substance and education. Very cool and I look forward to watching more from ya this season.

It's amazing how quick that bird got up and out of there. Misses are part of the game especially at that range. Lord knows I've been there before. Enjoyed the video nonetheless

Cool vid Tim. TSS and up close shooting is not really a great combo. It's much easier to miss than many think. Last one I missed was with HW7, same deal, let him get too close.

I just had a nightmare/flashback to the last "in my lap" turkey I wiffed on.
