[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5082778, member: 2805"] Nothing you can do once the jakes have heard your calling. If you know there is a gang of jakes running the show, you can call just quietly enough the tom can hear you but the jakes can't. I finally killed a tom 20 years ago that was run down by 7 jakes and they ruined 3 hunts prior by finding the tom 100y from the jake group in a broken field. I used the terrain and sparse cover to sneak to within 80 yards of the tom and called just barely loudly enough for him to hear me, but the jakes couldn't. He perked up, looked at the jakes, snuck 5 yards closer, looked back at the jakes, and repeated this until he got 30 yards away from me and blew up in full strut. Even crazier, that tom had 1.25in spurs and were razor sharp. He just never used them to fight to wear them down. [/QUOTE]
