indiana....if you cannot fire up the hen and piss them off another method i have heard of, but never tried is going in right when they fly up the night before and "breaking up the flock" like you would do in the fall season...gotta do it right and scare the daylights out of them to make sure they dont fly off in the same direction...its easier when they are on the ground...but ive heard of that working...never tried it...definently makes sense...and if you got permission on the surrounding areas it may be worth a shot near the end of the season...

i might actually give it a shot this season if i have a hen problem. the idea is that they will all roost in different areas(if you can get them to fly in different directions) and will goto sleep and leave the gobbler alone...note what way he went and try finding him and getting close in the morning and he should come to you...with any luck...seems like alot gotta go right for that method to work..but when the birds wanna play hard ball id try almost anything
