RE: How far can I pull 'em???
in my experience it is useless to call to em while they are headed to roost, because they are focused on one thing, heading to roost. It is MUCH MUCH easier to call em in right off roost, especially if you can set up and call while they are still on the limb. Last season i didnt know about the late season midmorning strategy, which ill definitely keep in mind this year. i was under the impression that if you didnt get one by 830, it was game over till you try and catch one headin towards roost that afternoon. ill say this, knowing what i currently know, early season they are easy to call early but are probably easy at all times. late season, i think it could be easier once all the hens go to nest around 9-11.
This is just my opinion from my current knowledge of turkey calling, so dont condemn me for it if im wrong, just correct me.
