One gobble at 9am, two gobblers down 9:15

Set up in a place that over the years has been a good mid-morning, early afternoon spot. Got there at first light. Had a young jake come into the set-up about 30mins after daylight. Just stayed put and occasionally yelped. At 9:00 I let out a pretty aggressive series b/c I'm getting a little bored. One gobbler jumps all over it, about 50 yrds to my back left in a small foodplot that is out of my line of sight,but where he can see my strutting decoy and hen. I get my gun up and 15min later without a sound, I have 4 gobblers at 15yrds strutting around my set-up. I picked out the biggest and dropped him, the other 3 flared-up and one went over my head at about 10yrds and I dropped him.

I called him and he couldnt make it, being Easter sunday, I let him have a pass. I actually called 4 different people and not a one would go. One said he'd be there at 6:30 and never showed.
