So close but not close enough

Guess I am not doing bad for an old women. Was at Bob's house at 5:45 AM, and we were at our hunting spot at 6:07 AM. Had to climb a very steep hill to get there. We had a big bird come within 50 yrds over a null gobbling like crazy but he would not come in any closer. I held my gun up for what seemed like hours. The next thing we saw him walking up the other hill. So then we hiked back down the hill and crawled along a woodline to where another big bird was all fanned out with a hen. I got set up and Bob called him in to where I needed him to come another 30 yrds for a clean shot. Someone up on the hill shot and it spooked him . He turned and went back the other way. This morning Jay and I were up at 4:30 and at 5:45 we were walking back up the same hill in the dark. We took decoys and set them out on top of the same null. Yesterday morning the turkeys were gobbling like crazy but this morning they never once talked. We saw some coming down from another hill so jay kept calling. After a long time we had given up that they had went the other direction. Jay started to stand up and I saw him freeze in position. Then I saw the head of a hen and then a red headed Jake for just a second. I couldn't get a shot so jay shot but missed. So we moved around to another spot(straight up a big hill again) but nothing happened so we came home. As we stepped up on our deck a turkey went around the back of our pond bank which is only 50 yrds from the house. SO no turkey but had a good time sitting in the woods admiring God's great creations. I still have another 3 weeks to get my bird.
