Took my 5 year old on his first Turkey hunt this morning. We saw 5 turkeys, and I am trying to figure out why one didn’t come in. The first 4 were about 300 yards NW of us and they never really moved towards our decoys. The one that puzzles me is a Big Tom that moves from 300 yards NW of us. He went all the way across the field in front of us. He started out on our far left and went to our right. He paused and looked at our decoys for 10 mins and then Crossed the field coming towards us. He did not come straight to the decoys but came across the field about 80 yards south of us. I thought he was crossing the field and then going to come down the wood line to the decoys. However, we never saw him after he crossed. I called a little, but all 5 birds we saw this morning were silent. They didn’t respond at all to calls. What should I have done differently.
