Default RE: Boneheaded Mistakes?

My first year turkey hunting I learned exactly why people say DON'T OVERCALL. I had a huge gobbler roosted one night, I watched him in a field through a spotting scope for about thirty minutes, then he went into the woods. about twenty minutes after that I slipped to the fields edge and hit an owl hooter. GOBBLE! Yep, thats him. Set up on him the next morning about 150 yards away, and let out a soft tree yelp at daybreak. GOBBLE! And here he comes, strutting in on a string. Well, I got overexcited and started laying it on thick. Yelp after yelp after yelp, with some clucks, purrs, cackles and cuts thrown in the mix. Well, it got him excited no doubt, but he hung up sixty yards away and gobbled his fool head off, refusing to come any closer. He wanted me to come to him. No matter what I tried he wouldn't move, and he finally left. No gobbler for me that morning.
