Thanks for all the advice fellas!

I was succesful on my 3rd outing. The first two outings I was working nice birds but couldnt get them to come in range. Had a strutting tom gobble at me and walk back and fourth along a fence line but just wouldnt come in closer than 75 yrds or so. Im still new to calling and can yelp consistantly with a box call but my clucks and purrs dont always come out right... I also spooked a bird that I think saw my hands working the box call.

I decided to get a pop up blind. Got a gorilla one man pop up from academy on clearance for $30! Nice little blind really. Set it up last thursday and staked it down in a nice little cover area by where I've seen em going to water and left it alone. Got in the blind on Saturday about 5:45 am, set up one feeding hen decoy and Waited till about 6:30 and started calling. About 15 minutes later I had two jakes come over the hill. They never did gobble. They just slowly worked their way toward my decoy being real
Cautious.

i purred with the box call (as best as I could) and gave a couple clucks here and there and they kept coming. I aimed and took the closest one when he was about 30 yards out. Dropped him like a ton a bricks.

My heart was pounding! Man it was fun. I felt pretty good about getting one my first season especially given I had to learn from youtube and message boards about how to call and set up.

Thanks for all the help fellas!
