About six or seven years ago in Indiana I was bowhunting and heard scratchin' in the leaves. Got ready and then a flock of hens and jakes appeared behind me in the woods just moseying along.

I didn't move and let them get about 20-30 yards past me over a little ridge. Started mouth-yelping and sounded like a flywheel locking up. Bad, bad noises. But I figured what the heck.

The jakes went bananas kee-keeing and then the hens started in. Called them back like that three times under my stand and they all stood around trying to figure it out. Dumber than hammers.
