Default tired of trying

For the past 5 years I have been hunting gobblers in the appalachain foothills of West Virginia, and every year its the same story, the toms will get fired up and gobble all morning long, but never come in to my setup. Sometimes they don' t even sound like there getting any closer. It doesn' t matter wether I go closer to them or not, they just will not come in (I seriously don' t think its my calling cause I drive my wife crazy all year round practicing) anyway, they answer every call I have Ive tried patient calling, aggressive calling, I' ve changed my setup, I use a whole flock of decoys, I' ve switched positions...exc. But nomatter what I do they don' t want to play. When they do happen to come close, they always just happen to be on the other side of a thicket, ussually sounding to be around 50 or so yards away (to close to move). I don' t understand. Guys i realize i just babbled on but I' m alittle frustrated at spending the past 5 springs rising at 4 in the morning, and hitting the woods for nothing!![:' (] Is there anyone out there who can help me??!! Im on my last straw.
