Well it wasn't my shortest season, but a close 2nd...
I didn't hear a gobble until about 7, and one was pretty far off to my left. I call to it occasionally, next thing you know one booms a lot closer on my right. I peek out of the blind (Blinds in the rain rule;)), and see 4 deer, and then another gobble. The deer start walking my way, and I see 2 heads with them. I was HOPING the deer didn't spook and take the gobblers with them. After thay crested a little hill they got my decoys in sight and headed at me at a dead run. I got ready, and had 2 at 12 yards, one stuck its head out, and that was it. Then the other one stood there, and pecked at it for about 5 minutes.
