What is the closest you have been to a turkey? The first season i ever went hunting i went out about two weeks before the season and decided to do the unthinkable. I took my calls out in the woods. I know I know your not supost to do that. Well this was my first year and i didn' t know any better. Well i go to this spot that i thought might have some turkeys in it and i listen. I hear a few faint gobbles off in the distence and i decide to call. Well about 20 minutes later I hear a gobble 30 yards away just over a ridge. Well i have know face mask, no gloves just camo pants and camo shirt. Well i pull my hat down over my eyes I pull my hands up into my shirt sleeves and I hunker down against this tree i' m sitting against. Well these two jakes come up over the ridge and walk right up to me about 3 feet from my feet and they both give out a gobble. I' m about !@itting in my pants because i want to come back in hear opening day and hunt these birds. The last thing i want to do is scare them away. Well thes birds are looking hard for the hen and they jump up on a little dead fall like 3 feet to my right. Now these birds are so close i cant even think about moving my head to look at them so i am just froze!!! These two jakes get tired of the game and just move on down threw the woods gobbling about every 50 yards or so. After that i was pumped up and i remember saying to my self " Man this turkey hunting is going to be easy" Man was i ever wrong!!!!!
