Well here in Ontario Canada our turkey season opened on the 25. I got out twice and managed to call in mature toms each time just couldnt connect. Well here is my confession. today i dragged out the double bull blind, camera and bow. called in 2 mature birds one with a all white 6-8" rope. must have rotted off. anyways guess what happened. I got turkey fever. at 13 yards i shot over his back. at 8 yards i blew feathers off his rear end. at 20 yards i hit him far back and he ran into the bush with my arrow in tow. blood and poop all over the field but i could not find him. brought out the dog and couldn't keep on him. I am so embarrassed. 2 years ago i took a nice tom with the bow and haven't bothered since. I just don't know what got into me. i was shaking like a leaf. well i hope i learnt a lesson to not rush a shot. i am going back to the bush to look if i can see my luminok tonight in the bush. thanks for listening. tight strings
Good luck man. Unfortunately that is part of it. If he's still holding the arrow i hope you see the light and recover the bird.
Bummer! Its a part of the game though, if that stuff didnt happen they'd just have called it killing. Good Luck finding him though! Keep us updated.
couldnt find the luminok. its raining pretty hard making it more challenging. well ill gt back at it tomorrow and try and redeem myself

Well back at it today in the blind with the bow and a buddy. birds gobbling all around us. at 7 am 3 jakes tried molesting my decoys one to many times. my buddy wanted to fill his tag so we decided to double up on the count. i was shooting the NAP kill zone and was quite impressed. blew out the vitals and dropped him in his track. back home for 8 am. ill try and post a pic tomorrow at the office the monkey is off my back and now i can hunt for a nice 2 or 3 year old.
