Last year we had a very early breeding season ,so they wouldn' t come to a call very well at all . I watched one hunter collect all three of the birds he got by stalking . That may not be the approved method but it was entertaining to watch and very productive . If he had been the only hunter to try calling them I would have figured that maybe he just wasn' t very good at it ,but I also watched quite a few other hunters try for them to with no results .
