On my very first turkey hunt about 13 years ago a flock of 16 hens came within 10 - 15 feet of me and I was trembling like a fawn because the longbeard hung back at about 50 yards. My knee was resting against a 1" dia. sapling and it was quivering and shaking because of my knee. Those hens kept eyeballing me and that quivering sapling but never busted me. What an experience!! I've been 2 feet from deer and didn't shake like that.
