RE: Close encounters.....
My buddy and I saw a couple of jakes runn across the road in front of us one afternoon. We waited about 15 min and went into the woods via a loging road. about 100yrds down the road the jakes poped out 10yrds in front of us. We just froze and stood there as still as posible untill the waked off. Then we walked back about 50 yrds and heard a gobble. Next morning I killed a longbeard at 15 yrds about 100yrds from were we saw the jakes. Very cool!
