I Suck

I was out mid morning just slowly taking a walk through the woods. I had my bow with me. My plan was to bust up some birds if i saw or heard any, then get down and call. I didn't see or hear a thing. Was actually hoping to find some good deer sign but really didn't find anything worth putting some time into. This is a woods that i don't deer hunt and no one else has permission to be on, not that it really matters to poachers, but anyway.
I was approaching a cut bean field and thought i'd step out very carefully in case i had pushed a doe or something. To my surprise there was about 10 to 15 hens out there, some were poults some adults.
They were pecking away, feeding away from me. I estimated 30 yards and let fly. I shot right over one of the adult hens backs, right in line but too high. :crycry: They didn't fly but walked off pretty fast right out into the middle of the field.
I was never going to speak of it but hey, i'm sure it will make all the others who have or will miss a turkey this fall with their bow feel a bit better about it.
I have a new Nikon Archers Choice on order but it actually on back order from Nikon, wish i had it. Birds must have been more like 25 or 26?
That would have been my first turkey with a compound.
I guess it was a bit of a success. Every time i've ever tried to draw on a tom i've been busted, thats without a blind, so that was good. Glass half full right???
