Default RE: Any suggestions for hunting this situation

Well I've been learning from all of you. This morning my husband and I set out very early w/ our new blind. Set up with a hen and jake. Rain forcast. Saw 1 dominant Tom but being led away by his 2 hens. (Just as many of you have described). Had a another Tom join them and was able to call him toward's my blind but I think he was spooked by my decoys and after a back and forth look he left. We pulled the decoys in and moved closer to a strut area and waited for them to return from feeding. The first to reappear was 2 hens that came within 15 feet of my window. Tom was yelling his head off but not coming closer. I could also hear another Tom returning from feeding on the other side of this slight ridge. I was so excited that my blind seemed to be offering me a perfect situation. Thank you so much for that recommendation everyone. My husband sudenly says "You aren't going to beleive this but here comes 2 hunters". These 2 %$#*&# walked right through the middle of the field and set up their decoy about 75 feet directly in front of my blind. You'd have to be really blind not to see us. The two hens run off and the fools lay down next to their decoy in a small shallow. What a dangerous set up, good way to get shot! I'm still pissed. I had an excellent time and used many of your suggestions. Will try again next week when those fools will be in school or at work. That's the second time this year I've had bad sportsmen near me my luck seems to be at an all time low but I haven't given up.
