A few posts assumed all calling was cranked up loud and in no way are mine while that boy is in the tree. Until I'm sure he's on the ground, it is only soft tree yelps and one fly down cackle with wing beats. Now after that I slowly start cranking up the volume. If he responds I hit him with another series of loud box call yelps, again and again. The majority of these Nebraska Merriams have responded well to it. I've only had one come in silent. The rest have been gobbling all the way in.
