Past - None of my family turkey hunted so I would go with Neil Cost. I heard he was a character.

Present - any one of my kids

Future - any one of my grandkids to come (fingers crossed)

I'd like to think they are creatures of habit as well. But when its game time they do something else 

I hunted this one area many moons ago. We had it for probably 10 years. Two fields were separated by a hedgerow. One field was three times the size of the other. At the bottom of the hedgerow was a big cedar that created lots of shade and concealment. From the cedar to the wood line was approximately 40 yards. The area was perfect and a slam dunk for a long time. They always strutted around in that area coming from the large field. I did notice on several occasions anytime a Jake or Jake's entered that area.  They entered from the small field. I'd guess to say, they'd peek out to see if the coast was clear before entry.

I never walked in there before the season. I'd sneak along the top of the field at dark and duck in the hedgerow. If they were in close proximity, I knew my chances were good.

Never good topic Greg.
I believe turkeys are creatures of habit to a certain extent and any number of things can cause changes to their routines, with predators, hunting pressure, and habitat changes i.e. clear cutting, burning or construction.
As Tail Feathers stated, "They are imprinted on a home territory.  Something there still keeps them around".
Your question, "was this gobbler one of the multiple gobblers that had come into this kill spot with other gobblers?" That's very possible, but hard to say. Now if you notice him frequently around that area, spot or 'Kill Zone" I would think this is not by chance or coincidence as there is something that keeps him returning. 
I would like to hear some other members' opinions on this topic.
