Default RE: "Beginner" Gobbling Question!

sit tight and call periodically...every 15-30 mins or so..just enough to let them know theres a hen still waiting....later in the morning the hens will go nest and leave the gobblers...and the gobblers are supposed to come back to find you.....thats what i always hear....sometimes it works.....sometimes it dont....more and more these days patience is killing turkeys it seems....more hunters.....more turkeys...they dont need to come running to you(though alot still will when they want) and they went into so many setups and busted other hunters...or found no hen and left....etc etc....i been dealing with birds that gobble hard on the roost and not much on the ground the last couple years....its frustrating and tough.....patience and turkey hunting just dont go hand in hand with me...i like hot active gobblers that like to talk......i gota get used to sitting on my butt waiting for something to come in.....and alot seem to come in silent..they seemed to learn that if they gobble the hunters are ready and shoot them....if they come silent they can look for the hen and leave if there isnt one.....i think them turkeys are getting pretty danged smart......thats my theory....and my places i find noone else hunts for whatever reason it seems the birds talk alot...or have hens..
