About 2 feet, here's one of his pictures - that's my knee in the photo, I could have kicked him...

Had a group of jakes and toms come in Wednesday. The biggest long beard stopped behind a screen of brush, to my right (I'm right handed) and sent the jake to investigate the deke. I'd about decided to try a left-handed shot through the brush when the jake walked into my lap. At three feet he decided he didn't like me or the deke and alarm putted. I paced it to the long beard after they hauled butt - five yards.

I had this guy come up from behind me, strut past my left shoulder, while following a hen on the way to my decoy set-up. Distance was about 5 feet!! Talk about having your heart jump out of your chest hearing that spit and drum comming from behind you, and end up being that short distance away!![:-]



Nice to have a scope when that happens huh
