Another thumbs up to Sprigs reply.Birds that are spooked and running away present shots that most often end up in a crippling situation.I would have have eventually moved but in a extremely slow and cautious manner not neccassarily to try and get a shot but to once again set-up in a better position to take the shot in trying to call the bird back in.This is a common mistake alot of unseasoned turkey hunters make in that instead of letting the bird show himself first the hunter moves when the bird is in tight to try and see and the only thing they end up seeing are tail feathers or now and alert bird to your presence.One other thing I would have done here is to stop calling when that bird is in tight.You give your position away and the turkey not seeing the bird it is hearing will often times leave or hang up!I believe if your f-i-l would have done this the bird would have walked out looking for the caller presenting you with a harvestable opportunity!

Good luck.... Bob
