RE: What do you do to " close the deal" ?
I think it is different with each bird. When the bird hangs up start with some soft purrs or clucks. Read his response. Does he gobble, do you hear him spit and drum? Scratch the leaves. Listen. I have also tried just shutting up and letting there curiosity get the best of them. Other times really firing up with clucks and cutts. Every bird is different. Feel them out and react with what they want.
