The other thing is, I think hangups often are due to poor setup location. For example, if you are in the edge of the woods and the turkey is strutting and gobbling in an adjacent field, you shouldn' t expect the gobbler will actually enter the woods, he very likely won' t. In a case like that, all you can hope is that you get him close to the edge of the field where you can whack ' em. So you shouldn' t set up too deeply off the field' s edge. Likewise, if he can see your decoy from a strut area (as opposed to a non-strut area), he' ll rather your hen decoy come to him. [If I know I' m going to be stuck with that circumstance, I put a string on my decoy and use motion to try pull the tom from his strut zone. Gentleman that Sir Tom is, he usually will agree to a bit of a compromise with a pretty hen who appears to be moving towards him, and come in her direction, more than halfway.] Although I have called toms downhill, I think the general consensus is that calling from above the tom works better, and you may get a hangup if you are below the tom. Fences, creeks, lots of fallen timber, heavy brush all can be hangups, and you should consider their potential problem-causing when you set up. Finally, sometimes you just have to realize that a turkey is a turkey, and the best setup, sweetest hen calling, etc., on occasion will not succeed, and in those instances, you' ve just got ot tip your hat to the bird. After all, that' s why they call it hunting, not shooting.
