I can' t figure out what I was doing wrong this past weekend, the PA opener. I was sneeking up a logging road before light and heard a couple toms gobbling like crazy in the trees ahead of me. I snuck within about a 100 yards and set up my deke and got situated. All the while, they were going nuts in the tree. As it began to get light out, I heard hens. This really got the toms wound up. I figured the only option I had was to out do the hens and see if I can get them mad. Well, it didn' t work, but to my surprise the toms didn' t follow the hens once they flew down. Instead, they snuck within about 50 or 60 yards of me and put on a show! It took them about 2 hours to get to distance from me, but I couldn' t get either of them any closer. I know the one was really looking hard at the decoy, but he just stared, and gobbled everytime I clucked a little. Than, after about 2 1/2 hours or so, they acted like they lost interst and made a big loop around me and disapeared. I stayed put all morning for fear of spooking them in case they didn' t go far.

What went wrong, I thought for sure I had this one wrapped up. Is this a normal thing that happens once in a while?

Thanks in advance for the advice guys.
