RE: SORRY! Closest ever??
Yesterday my brother had a hen at 5 feet. He was walking down a logging road behind our pond and it busted out right next to the trail. I also had a hen bust out from next to a logging road once 3 years ago. A couple years ago i snuck out of my house in the middle of the night and was driving around with my buddies. My mom called my phone so i got out of the car to answer it. As i stepped out of the car into the ditch i stepped right on a hen. She flew out from under my foot and i fell over. I assume she was on her nest but she was like 5 feet from th road? Another time i was about 12 and i got my first turkey call, decoys and blind. It was a little HS Strut box call and a set of the love-traingle decoys by feather flex. The blind was one of those stake blinds with the fabric in between them. I was out in the woods around 4-5 o' clock and these 4 jakes came walking by about 10 feet away. I was shaking like mad. They never made any turkeys sounds, and they sounded like deer walking through the woods.
