Missed a pair of turkeys yesterday with my cylinder bore 12ga 870 I've hunted with my whole life, and Win gray-box 4 buck.

Excuses thusfar, in only 14 hours:

  • "Dang gun's broke!"
  • "They musta been farther than I thought!"
  • "...shoulda loaded up some 6's."
  • "I was too hungry."
  • "Friggin wind musta been blowin a hundred miles an hour!!"
  • "Barrel's bent."
  • "Wad hit'm. Shot musta been loaded light."
  • "Damn Winchester crap. I'm usin reloads tomorrow..."
  • "Sun was in my eyes."
  • "Shot at'm with slugs. Just missed'm by a hair!"
  • "All I could think about was your wife!!" :D
  • "Firing pin musta stuck."
  • "Had the safety on."
  • "Just woke up from my nap, eyes were fuzzy."
  • "I really only wanted a buck."
:D You got any excuses I can borrow? I'm runnin out. :D
 
Here are some really bad ones:

"Dadgum pile of corn got in the way."
"Hard to focus after that seventh beer."
"They ran into my cannibas crop, and I couldn't bring myself to shoot."
"I prefer to take turkeys with dynamite anyway."
"Game Warden showed up, and I had to deal with him..... Want a rib?"


DISCLAIMER: The above excuses are intended for comedic effect only. The author neither condones nor practices hunting in the fashion it is depicted in these excuses.
 
Well, redeemed myself today. Got a fat hen right in the same spot where I missed the previous two. Same gun, same load, only about 20 yards closer this time, and just after I woke up from a very satisfying nap in my spot. :D

Happy Thanksgiving to me! :D
