I'm wondering how someone could get 20 yards from you and you not notice? Did he come in in the dark as well? If so I'm sure you caught him off guard when you started calling. Maybe he didn't know you were there and thought you were a hen? I know I've heard that one before when people do dumb things on public. Sounds like the situation was pretty good and maybe he didn't want to jeopardize that as obviously it resulted in a bird. It's a scary situation no doubt, as you were preparing to shoot and had someone within killing range of you that you did not know about. I'm not trying to take his side, but just that sometimes it seems different from the other perspective. Last year I took a buddy from work that's not much of a turkey hunter. We got to chasing a bird and when we finally got close enough to really get him worked up, he was getting closer, and I thought it was going to happen. Next thing you know, BANG.. right where both of our guns were pointed. My buddy was pissed and wanted to get worked up about it.. I calmed him down, as I didn't know the whole story.. maybe this guy had been working this bird when we came up on him. I never heard him call, but not everyone calls that loudly. Maybe he thought I was a loud mouthed hen and was going to let her bring him right past him. I was more worried about not knowing someone was in the direction I was preparing to shoot, so we got out of there and went looking for another bird.
