Default clucking to locate birds??

A question from a season past that I've wondered about:

I'm in thefield an hour before sunup and couldn't get a tom to gobble so I decide to set up in a spot that had signs of serious turkey activity when I was scouting the day before. Just as the sun is coming up a not so graceful human is making his way through the woods fairly slowly but loudly, using a box call to make a single cluck noise every few minutes. Eventually he walks right past me and doesn't notice meand I get to watch him do his noisy thing on off into the yonder (and then after he's gone I pick up and leave of course).

I'm thinking this guy isn't so bright because I could hear him going through the woods a mile away so I know no turkeys are going to stick around. However, I'm wodering if I was too quick to judge him and threw clucking into the same idiot category as crashing through the woods.What are your thoughts? Isclucking a reasonable methodfor getting a shock gobble?
