RE: How close ?
large gobbler 5ft. behind my tent blind. I couldnt turn to shoot without spooking him. I had one walk up from my right to about 15 ft. last year when I was sitting against a large oak about 10 ft of a field. We saw each other at about the same time. I just happened to turn my head to the right and there he was. He caught the movement through the brush and putted as he tried to slowly sneak straight away from me. There was brush about 10 ft. between us and an open field on the other side of the brush. He moved away acrooss the field and passed a hole in the brush and I got him when he was about 30 yards out. 28 lb er
