Better luck next year!

The key to hunting, and being good at it...is doing it a lot and learning from your mistakes. Same as the rest of your life experiences. You will learn what a deer walking sounds like vs. a squirrel vs. a human vs. etc. Also...it might be time to build a "lean to", or some other blind to help you a) elevate yourself or b) otherwise camouflage yourself.

About turkeys. They can both see and hear better than deer. Do NOT underestimate them as an easier prey. The advantages you have over them is smell won't be as critical...and they roost at night. So you can locate in the evening and position yourself early morning to call them in (assuming they are willing to leave their hens).
