I hear ya Speck.... I've had some close calls similar to what you say...... But,,,, you know what they say "If it can't kill ya it ain't much fun" or someting like that....:biggrin
Good bird man, you cant beat wild bird baby!
Nice job... I didn't buy a turkey tag this year just trying to get my little girl on her first one. It would make me happier if she could kill even a jake than if I killed a 26 lb, 2inch spur gobbler. Then we could go fishing!!!
