Man I blew it.

Watched a flock fly down. Called 4 gobblers to 60 yds two spooked right away and flew away. Other two started fighting each other which was pretty cool to see. A fog rolled in and they came in to about 40 yds but I could only see heads and now there were 5 so I wasn't sure which were hens. Then they turned and walked back down the hill out of sight. 10 mins later a different gobbler came running in from my right. Could only see his red hed for about two seconds and it was bobbing because he was hustling, then he was gone over the hill to join the flock. Never saw them again.

Just to salt the wound I jumped a big tom on my way out because I had to get home early. Turkeys are finicky. beautiful morning though
