About half as likely, it appears.... based on polls about who missed or didn't miss last year.

This is about the nicest pine tree I've ever shot, in the top five anyway. The turkey was just to the left of the pattern.
Quote from: guesswho on December 07, 2011, 09:33:22 PMMy Dad has one of the most classic misses I've ever seen. And I have it on tape. I was behind him about 50-75 yards calling. He was standing up facing a big Oak tree. There were about 20 turkeys in a group coming to the calling. A couple of longbeards a few jakes and some hens. I filmed them coming right to the tree my Dad was at. He had the gun pointing straight up because he didn't know which side of the tree the birds were going to go. The birds got to the tree and some went right and some went left. The first birds were no more than three feet from my dad when they spotted him and spooked. My Dad jumped around the tree and tried to pull off a quick shot but missed. On the tape you can see him miss and then birds flying everywhere and you can still hear turkeys putting and wing beats and my Dad turns his head and looks at me with his face mask still on and says says turn that @%$ @!*% son of a Btchn camera off. He even threw in a few new words I didn't know existed. Even something about some new kind of turkey I'd never heard of.
