Joined the short shirt tail club

Post by dsunday »

Missed a gobbler after rushing the shot. Growing up in PA, it was a running joke if you missed, someone had to cut off your shirt tail. Idk why...

Anyway, I drowned my misery in some chili dogs.

Missing a gobbler always hurts. Chili dogs don't sound like a bad way to drown your sorrows.

I cut my underware off this year, but it wasn't for missing a turkey!

Seriously. Chile dogs will ease your pain.
I feel your pain dsunday! It really does get to your head. If your like me, you'll replay that shot forever. Like golf or bowling, you forget the great shots that you made throughout the years but the bad ones stick with you for a long time. But... There's always tomorrow and your luck can change in an instant!
Good luck to you!!

If you ain't missed, you ain't shot at many. It happens.
Thank you Lord for creating these wonderful birds and allowing us to chase after them.

I didn't say, it didn't hurt. I still have painful flashbacks.
