If you' re doing it all right, then, as Buckeye Mike says, that' s why they call it turkey hunting, not turkey shooting. As Mike suggests, time of the season may be a concern, though I know nothing about the length of the WVa. season, or when you are hunting. If you are limited to a set period, maybe you should choose a different period to be hunting.

Do you roost ' em? If not, maybe you should try that a few times.

When you hear ' em coming in, do you keep calling/hammerin' ' em or do you shut up/soften it way up/slow it way down? Most of the time, it is better to shut up when you know the bird is coming. If you keep on yelping (just to check on his progress or make sure he is coming, for example) you will most likely hang him up. (This rule can change for a super-hot bird, but I always wonder, in that situation [i.e., super-hot tom], why you need to hammer ' em all the way in, anyway. They' ll come in without excessive calling, I believe.)

Are your setups barrier-free? Be sure.

All turkeys have daily movement. In other words, no turkey simply flys down in the morning and stands in one place until sunset and then flys back up in the tree. Do you set up along their daily movement paths? Do you know what those paths are from preseason scouting? (In the " olden days" many hunters would never call at all, never use decoys, either. They would get their birds not from calling or decoys, but from being in the right place at the right time, as they knew the turkey' s daily movements and would set up along those paths.)

If you are using a diaphragm, even though you practice all the time, maybe you should sitck to a slate and/or box call, only. You may be wrong about how you sound.

A word of encouragement, though. When you succeed, there is no comparison to the elation and enjoyment. See the many success stories on this site--everyone of them is a high!!
