Let an upgrade slip away

Went to the woods after work. Stopped by my wife's uncles place. I used to murder gobblers here. In fact my largest ever Georgia bird came off of here. Only 55 acres. I haven't hunted it in about 7 years. Last year I started seeing sign again. I walked in and saw sign everywhere. I started cutting and one cut me off. He was close and coming. I put the decoy out and sat down. I hit the call again and he was on top of me. Right in front of me was a split tree with a fork and I got movement on the other side. He came in and stood there and strutted at 25 yards. Won't budge. He was HUGE. I could see his head plain as day but didn't want to shoot through the fork....he'll I thought he would come. He turned and walked out the same way gobbling. I haven't been nervous with a bird in a long time, but that one had me breathing hard. Might be because of where it's at. At any rate.....I'll be there again this evening to get after it.
