Default Another tough turkey....

Just doesn't want to committ,he will come within 70yds,but then he hangs out there,and then goes away.I've tried almost all of my tricks ,but I've got one more for in the morning.There are 5 other people that are coming behind me,and trying to get him.He has been on the same side of the foodplot every day for 1 week.He has been seen 4 times,twice by me,twice by my friend.My last trick is to get into the burnt pines before daylight.Set my decoys out(one hen feeding,one hen squatting down to breed w/jake standing behind her),40yds to my left where he would have to walk by me,b/c of the terrain,and face where I have heard him.I think I will call once or twice,and as soon as he responds shut up.Hopefully when he comes out he will see the decoys,and if he hangs up at 70yds,he'll be 30yds from me.

The other wayI could do it is set the decoys out,and when I call as soon as he responds run towards him about 40yds,and get ready.The only thing about that is it is so open,I could get busted.

What do you guys think?This bird is severely pressured,and time is running out! Oh yeah,and this bird does not gobble on the roost.
