Went out today and climbed one hell.of a mountain before sunrise. Had a turkey below gobbling good. I circled around and got in like with where I thought he would come up. Also an old road there. So he is getting closer and closer only to stay on the other side of the hill guessing 70-80 yards away. He continued to gobble straight up the mountain. I waited about 30 min and then circled back and went up hill. Got on his level and belly crawled to him gobbling on his own to about same distance as before, but any closer and I really risk bumping him. I let some soft calls out and he answers. Then gobbled again then gobbled as he walked back down the mountain. I say there about another 30 and nothing. So my question for you experts. Why didn't he come in when I was same level, no major obstacle, and he answerede. And do I go after him tomorrow or wait till Thursday?

Turkeys do what turkeys want to do, I would keep rule number 1, and hunt him. Rule number 1 dont scare the turkey. But like 257 said probably had some hens with him.
It isn't necessary to see a good tackle...you can hear it.

Probly followed his hens down the mtn What I figured, not much else explains him gobbling but not coming in. I think I'll be 80 yards to the left in the am and probably not call. See if they will walk right to me.

That's why we like hunting them so much, we don't know what they will pull next. I've been chasing them for over 40 years, and they still pull stuff out of the hat. It does not help if he has hens with him. We are trying to make them do something that is unnatural to them, go to the hen. In their world, the hen is supposed to go to them. It's fun matching wits with them, I guess I'm not too smart, because they've won a lot more of these games over the years than I have.

IF you have time to hunt up in the morning and hens are starting to nest, go back to the place you lost contact with him late in the morning. He’ll often be ready then. This

No, was raining and ai sat there till past the time he walked by, but was wet and cold. Need new rain jacket. Ended up seeing some in a field, but no luck. Belly crawled within 80. But hens and a Jake.
