RE: Call shy bird, any ideas?!?
Is he patternable? If so, I would suggest hunting him like deer and take a stand and cut him off on his normal daily routines. That's how I bagged my biggest bird to date last year... I had an idea what he was doing and just set up where I thought he'd be coming and he just appeared... Made one call first light... just a fly down call by the edge of a field I knew he'd make his way to eventually.
