Another option is to scout what fields the toms are using and at what time then sneak in and just sit close to where you usually see the birds and hunt them like deer, they are creatures of habit like deer and will often use a certain corner of a field for a strut zone. Even though its tempting dont call as later in the season some toms will be call shy only call if they start to move off. This tactic worked great for me in Kansas 2 years ago, I watched 2 toms come off the roost and go to the river and drink for 2 straight days and on the 3rd and final day I set up where they had been exiting the field and both came with in 20 yards of me and only one left! The only draw back is missing the excitment of fooling a bird with calls its the main reason I turkey hunt but when nothing else works do what ya have to do- Good luck!
