When you do hunt him, set up in a different location (if possible) at that spot. Try soft calls early, let him know you're there, and then just scratch in the leaves. As long as he thinks there's a hen there, who knows he's around and you have sharp eyes and long patience...he can be taken.

Good Luck and BTW...got pix of the jake? Your Dad may kill bigger birds, but there's only one first bird. Congrats to you for sharing the experience.
