RE: Close encounters.....
Back in 2003, i bought a stake blind, some decaoys and a box call at walmart. It was late March or early April at the time, and i was 13. I remember walking out into the middle of the woods, setting up my dekes and blind, and hammering on that box call. After about 10 minutes i heardaruckus in the woods like i never have before, and 4 jakes came running up to my decoys. They were probably 10 feet away. I just remember ducking down and shaking and taking pictures through the little holes in the blind. I lost them all when my computer crashed though [:@]
Thats what got me hooked.
