Then as we sat thinking to wait a few hours and wait and see.....some unscrupulous youth hunter group came tramping thru and had a pump yelper call which they yelped constant non stop for each and every step they took in the woods. Literally, we heard them yelp nonstop for fifteen minutes, until they faded away over a distant ridge. Even both my kids said aloud; "what an idiot...". I was thinking it must have been a "PETA hunter".

We tried a "turkey drive" later on that day. I left my boy with a buddy of mine, and worked my way down the river bottom towards them. It actually worked, and they had 3 toms come trotting up. Justin took a shot, but evidently shot right over it's head.
Next morning we hunted with one of my son's buddies from his baseball team. We had a jake coming straight into the dekes, but the kid we were with couldn't decide if he wanted to shoot a jake. Finally he decided to let my son take him, so I moved my head to tell Justin it was his bird, and I think the jake saw me move my head. He stopped (he was still about 40 yards out), stared for about a half minute, and hightailed it out of there.
Oh well... two weeks til the regular season... :)
