[QUOTE="jlmustain, post: 3208629, member: 12917"] Got close to four, but not as close as I thought. I'm new to this, so calling isn't quite my strong point yet. I got a few shock gobbles out of them, laid a hen decoy down, and set up behind a tree. I tried to call softly, but then I found out who the real lady of the hour was when she laid in to some yelping about 100 yards south of me. The toms were north of me, so I took advantage of the luck and put my calls away. Even though everything I've been taught said I should work to break toms away from a hen, this felt logically different to me. I figured lady chatterly would bring them right past me, and I was right! The only problem was my now blatantly obvious lack of ability to judge distance. After the field cleared, I paced the distance to be about 50 yards. I'm not just an idiot, I'm an idiot in need of a rangefinder. Ha! I'm disappointed, but not mad. The law of large numbers says that if I hunt turkeys enough, there has to be at least one dumb enough to strut too close to this amateur! Ha! [/QUOTE]
