Default RE: Help a novice please!

I did call at about 6:30 - a half hour be for sunrise (Very soft tree calls). He belowed from his limb. I stayed silent until 7 while he continued to sound off. I heard him fly down. I called softly 3x over the next hour always getting response.

At 7:45 I moved back into the woods and called facing away from the tom, he responded and I move further twice more, getting responses both times - I thought I heard a second bird - closer to me, from the same direction, but the Boss cut the second call off immediately, gobbling excessivly.

I moved back to the set-up, and sat stone quiet while the Boss gobbled.

The only "calls" I made over the next hour were the "crumpling of a olive colored, plastic grocery sack" to simulate scratcing in the turf (pine needles don't make much of a sound). I don't know if the Boss heard the "crumples" but he continued to sound off at irregular intervals. It was probably this "scratching" that brought in the silent satallite bird.

I've been learning how to gobble with a diaphram this week and plan to be back out there at 4:45 and when the Boss sounds off Ihope to p*** him off enough to entice him (or the satallite) come beat me up!
