RE: Great Experience Yesterday. Questions.....
I would agree with the other guys that he saw your dekes and expected them to come to him. That being said, if you saw him at 80 yards, a wary bird would expect to see hens at that distance in open woods, so if you didn't have dekes out, he probably would have spooked if he didn't see hens. Your best bet is to make your setup in a place where he can't see a long ways off. Like just over a knob or in a semi-thick area. Make him come looking. Being in an area he can see 80 plus yards is trouble either way. Think about it.
If you were in the woods and someone was calling for you to come, you may come closer, but if you get to an area where you can see a long ways off, and you can't see who is calling for you to come closer, you're gonna smell a rat and not be as anxious to move closer.
Another secret is to scratch in the leaves as much (if not more) than you call. You'd be surprised how effective this can be. Especially on pressured birds.
Good luck!!
