Quote from: hobbes on April 04, 2016, 10:03:49 AMI've had them do it but it's purely luck on their part. They can be spooky as heck but still aren't capable of the thought process required to decide "hey, I'll just keep that tree between me and that hen just in case it proves to be a hunter". You're giving them way too much credit.

They have no ability to reason or to know that we imitate them to kill them! If a turkey responds to your calls and comes toward you then he thinks you're a hen! Even when we call in a bird and miss him, he doesn't think "wow, that thing that sounded like a hen just tried to kill me". As far as peaking up over a rise, they do that to check for waiting predators because it's an area they couldn't see. They don't do it to see if the hen sounds they heard were real or if it was a hunter.

You may not get to see how long his beard is. Saturday, the wind was blowing 25-30 mph here. I set up in a calling spot to call. Had a jake with about a 4" beard just materialize at about 2 o'clock of my position. Where he came from, I have no idea. It's stuff like this that makes you wonder how many snuck up behind you on days like this!! While you were busy looking to the left, he eased up on the right and when you moved your head back to the right, he caught that movement and put that tree between you and him!!!
