1: Yes i hunt when the conditons arew windy. I feel like any game animal is some what catious in the wind but i have notcied it doesnt bother turkeys as much as deer cause deer rely on hearing for about 33% of their "caution" senses, the other two 33%'s being smell and sight.
2: I close the gap when i hear a gobble until i figure i am near 100-150 yards away. i want to be close but not too close. if they are roosted i will be further depending on visibility and the ability to blend in.
3: the same as above. I approach slowly and keep my distance. amybe give a few tree clucks nad yelps but try to stay minimal. I want the tom top know whre i will be when he hits the ground.
4: none of them. I dont like to get a gobbler to gobble at night ont he roost due to the fact that i want to slip in and out quietly and not disturb them. second, if i did lose track of the roosting toms then i would use only and owl or coyote howl which is hear d generally at night. i have never heard a crow at night.
5: no. temperature, barometric pressure, cold/warm fronts, and other weather can affect their responses. I bet i have taken 45-50% of tmy birds w/o hearing a gobble.
6: anything is possible but genrally a bigger, more mature looking bird can scare of jakes and submissive toms. is would throw in2 more hens to offer up something to a tom around what he may think is a more dominant bird. let the bird figure things out and play on his actions.
