Educated one...what now?

[tree_ghost]

So I made a mistake due to time constraints yesterday...I worked a bird to 50 yards and couldn't get him to commit the other 20 to put him in bow range for me. I thought he had worked off as I had lost sight of him for 15 minutes and I needed to tend to some business. Long story short he was only 10 yards further than when I lost sight of him and when I got up he putted out...(dang rookie move). I really liked this bird and am focused on killing him now that he has won the first round. He was by himself and the area he's in is a semi isolated 500 acres of timber. I know birds become call shy and learn your tactics quickly after they bust you. I wasn't using decoys so I didn't educate him in that way. What should I consider when pursuing this bird now that he knows I'm after him?

No big deal. Turkeys get spooked all the time. You'll get him

Go get him. If you have a diff call, try that.

Nobody wants to bump a turkey, but it happens. Not a huge deal. Give him a few days and try him again.
