I quit using owl calls in the early morning...I'd rather go in and listen to them gobble on their own, get a idea of where he is and get into position...I know its
too late for him but here is what has worked for me...1) Sleep in...don't go until about 10:00 and hunt until 2 or all day, if possible, by now I would guess he has the hens patterned (or vice versa), let him do his thing and pick him up either near where the hens take him, or near his roosting area...2) If youdo go early and locate him in the early morning, call once, if he answers, don't dare call again...Rustle some leaves like a feeding hen, but don't pick up the call...And don't put out a decoy, make him move around to find you...It might take him an hour to come in, but if another hen doesn't pick him up first, he'll come in...
