When I shot my biggest tom (1.625" spurs on both sides, approx. 27 lbs, 10.25" and 6.5" beards) I was calling to the hens. This worked out really nice becuase the hens came and the gobbler followed...."flirting" with one of them (they were circling each other constantly). His attention was solely on the hen and he never knew what hit him! Don't try to pull the tom away, use the hens to bring him to you....
