Default RE: Call shy bird, any ideas?!?

Well I have hunted this same bird all month. Hes pretty call shy now. I'm not gunna post the whole story and all the details I'm sure you guys dont wanna hear it. But my question is........ when hes on roost, he wont gobble to my owl hoot anymore. Any other suggestions to make him give up his location. I'm in northern NY if that helps things. Thanks alot! Please! I NEED your advice, headed out in the morning.
Try this,

Set up a couple of decoys.

Put a Tom or Jake over a hen like hes just about to get on with his
Man stuff.

And just make a soft yelp purr yelp one time.
Then waite ten minutes and do the same thing and waite ten minutes.
and keep doing this.

Just don't over call.

Try this and let us know what happen's.

I hope this helps
