I have felt that way many time's. The only thing I have to offer is probably what you aleady have done. GET IN CLOSE, IF YOU CAN WITH OUT BUMPING THEM. If you do, so what, they arn't comming anyway. So maybe busted up will give you a chance for a lonely Gobbler.

I have often wished I had a Machine Gun and when one Gobbles. Just Spray that Tree till it falls down. I get so fusterated sometimes.

Good Luck, at least you are honest with yourself.
