Hi, this is the first time I have posted anything on this board, however I read them all the time. I went hunting in Southern Iowa yesterday with my dad and he bagged his first gobbler. The gobbler came in slient surrounded by hens. Later in the day I tried to pull in a tom that was gobbling about 150 yards away when all of a sudden a hen came runnin' in clucking and stole the tom away from me. This happened to me several times and I realize that the gobblers are extremely outnumbered by the hens on this piece of private farm land. I have already tried to call aggressively to get the hen mad and have her come to me but this did not work. What else can I do besides trying to cut them off when they fly down from the roost? Any info is extremely appreciated as I am going out again on Monday and Tuesday.
Thanks and good look to all!
