Default RE: Roosted Birds

i had a bird fly behind me this year and kept on going,i assume with hens.i was unfamiliar with the land and could not catch up with him.set up on him two days later in the same tree,i was waiting in a feild with one hen decoy on the timber edge.talked to a old timer the day before and advised me to call softly and sparingly.was carefull to be quiet,got my decoy ready,detached my seat from the velcro etc before i moved in.two soft tree yelps,he landed and gobbled.two soft purrs and clucks,put down my call and waited.scratched the leaves a couple times in between[i feel that was key]. he came into my decoy,and the rest is history.24 lb,s.i feel you position yourself properly,call just to let him know you are there,and hope he does not fly down to a waiting harem.good luck.
