Last year I set-up in a small clump of short pines in the middle of a field. I know the area well and never even have to call the birds there - I just know they use the field regularly. Just as the sun was coming up, I hear a gobble. The bird gobbles every 2 min and its grow louder. After about 10 minutes I see him appear at the edge of the field. He walks directly to my jake decoy and I realize he's a jake himself (about a 5" beard). He starts pecking the head of my jake, kicks the decoy repeatedly until it falls over, then he mounts the decoy. This goes on for 5 minutes and its only 20 yards away. Its only a jake so I didn't plan to shoot it.

A hen appear in the field about 70 yards from me and the jake leaves and walks to her. I saw them make (first time I'd seen Turkeys mate). About 30 minutes passed and I didn't no Tom presented it self, so I convinced myself if the Jake responds to my call and comes back, I'll shoot it.

Two clucks from my slate call and he came in on a string. Bang! It was a cool experience.
