There was a video that I watched back in the early90's(had to be 91 or 92) where some guy hid under a downed log, and had his buddy throw leaves all over him.He called a jake in so close that he actually was able to grab its leg for a second when it stepped onto his hand, before it got loose and took off. I wish I could remember what that video was called.

I've had gobblers within 5 feet. At that range, you can't even turn your eyes or blink. You even have to watch how loud you're breathing.

One time I missed agobbler's headcleanat no more than 2 yards. The concussion off the 10 gauge 3.5" magnum actually rolled him flat. I thought he was dead, but now I think he was just k.o.'ed from the muzzle blast for a second. He got up and took off. LOL I couldn't move my cheek to the beavertail, so I just kinda had to eyeball it and guess when his head was passing the muzzle and pull the trigger. I guesstimated wrong.

Moral of the story is that when you're calling, you'll get turkeys to come in and look for the other bird. If you have no dekes out, they'll come to the area, and continue to search. Turkeys are excellent audible locators, so they can usually pinpoint the origin of a sound, and if they're looking for you, chances are that they'll be able to pin you down with a small margin of error.

If you don't spook 'em, they'll come right in and practically run you over.
