I went out this afternoon and I was walking around the woods trying several methods to try to strike up a gobbler with no luck I just kept on walking. I look up and 30yds there is a turkey feeding. I plopped down on the ground and put on my gloves and facemask. Somehow that turkey never saw me or heard me because the leaves were very dry. Unfortunately it was a jake. It took some self control not to fold him up. Our game and fish made shooting jakes illegal this year due to the poor hatches we have been having. It was a cool encounter he got within about 15yds and moved off. I tried yelping and cutting at him to get him to gobble and strut to get a good look at his tail fan, but he never did anything.
