The reason I ask, MN.....
Seems to me a "boss" gobbler isn't real concerned about a really "needy" sounding hen. My guess is he don't have to be......lol.
And....to go along with that......the subordinates don't really wanna get caught with their hands in the cookie jar (so to speak). I try to leave the calling (in theory) as light as possible to let 'em know I'm "in the area"......and let them sort it out amongst themselves who's interested and who isn't.
On private land.....with lightly pressured birds (this is pretty much what I have).......at least in my head this makes sense.
Disclaimer: I am NOT picky about which bird I will take with a bow.
I think many under estimate just how keen a turkeys ears really are.
I fully agree, Jim. I often wonder why.......if we've called enough to let them know we're there......we need to do ANY more.
