Yesterday went out turkey hunting with my favorite turkey slayer my Browning BPS 10 ga.
I settled in and waited 15-20 mins. for it to settle in and started calling, bit here and bit there. Third set I hear a gobble and about 15 mins. later I see some black shapes moving in the woods bordering my field. Sure as sheet there was not 1 but 3 tom's headed my way, well after a arduous 100 yard walk they got in shooting range ,or so I thought, and I lit one up and missed well another was walking away and close enough so I fired again but low and behind. So I missed. Funny thing is they did not run away but walked away and not in a big hurry either. I never blew my cover till about 15 or so min's. after the fact
so they didn't know where I was.
Do you think I could hunt the same spot after a 2-3 day cool off?
BTW I did have two decoys out as well might be why they walked away?
