Unreal...(long)

Me & a buddy were out early, located some Jakes in the woods. We were in a blind but I thought the best course of action was to go on foot. I was setup on a logging road and called em in. I was about 25 yards away and they came across the road where I didn't expect them to. The lead one gobbling the second one in full strut and the third looking right in my direction. I didn't have a shot. They kept going and i couldn't bring them back toward us.

We go back to the blind and move our gear just inside of where I saw those 3. We start calling and about 15 minutes later this lone hen comes screaming in. She's 5 yards from us clucking and yelping like crazy. She was on top of our dekes like what the hell are these. We hear the gobblers going bananas from a good 100+ yards out. We kept her interested for about 15min. As she left 6 males came up behind us at about 30 yards. What's unreal is we were between the hen and toms but they kept going in one direction and her in another.

Its my 5th time out this year and this being my rookie year I was amazed at what happened today. If I was using a shotgun I'd have my tags full by now Lol. Is there anything different I could have done to get those toms in?

I don't think anything else could have been done. I'm as hooked as hooked can be tho that's for sure. It just wasn't in the cards today.

Definitely. We couldn't have asked for a more exciting day. It was a success in my book.
