Turkey season done - post your results

My results on a highly pressured area:

First weekend I thought I had some roosted, only to hear no gobbling or see any fly down. Started the run and gun, and finally turned one over at 11:00. Called him up only to have him spot me in some open woods at about 60 yds. Fail

Returned back the next weekend to the same spot - gobbler was shaking the treetops before daylight. Hen flew down right in my face and a jake dropped out and left. Big boy stayed put until 7:45 and gobbled at least 50 times in the tree, even though I had only called to him twice. When he finally flew down he made a big circle and came in after 45 minutes. At 8:30 I was tagging him in my mind as half my pattern went in a small tree between us. He flew off as I was cussing myself. Failure of epic proportions.

Gave that spot a rest while unsuccessfully trying other areas the next couple of weekends.

This past Saturday I decided to go back to the Fail spot and try one last time. Waited probably a little too long before leaving the road. Was hoping to hear him gobble on the tree - dumb move. As I got to within 150 yards of where he had originally roosted a turkey bailed out directly overhead. Pissed off, I continued in and set up blind. Soft called about 15 minutes after daylight and heard a turkey fly down out in front of me. The woods were thick and I stayed quiet trying to make him look for me. I did hear some clucking at one point but never heard one gobble. It's hard to hunt a turkey that wants to stay quiet, so . . . another FAIL.

I consider my season a success in the fact that I did have some close quarters action a few times, and that's really what it's all about to me. Ole boy will be older and smarter next year - probably too damn smart for me, but I'll still be chasing him.
