RE: Calling Tactics...scenario
1. you are already busted so personally I would go look for another hot bird. If this particular bird is the one you want to take I would do one of a couple things. 1. if i have a good idea of where i think he is going to go i will try to beat him there and ambush him, 2. wait for the hens to leave him late morning, maybe go have a cup of coffee, let the woods settle back down, and come back after him, or 3. if i were desperate to get this bird and its the last day of season i would pretend it was the fall and scatter the birds. with any luck you will separate him from the hens. If you get them separated he will get real callable, you might even have the benefit of real hens calling him back to your set up. This strategy is more of a hail mary, not something i would try opening day haha.
2. this one is easy i don't make a freaking peep. He wants to get stubborn I'll get real stubborn too and give him the cold shoulder. He will get to the point where he just can take it anymore and come marching in, or he'll walk off. If he walks off I will regroup and set up on him again, maybe this time get a decoy out and give him that visual he is looking for.
By the way this thread is a great idea, its going to be cool to see what everyone's answers are. Now that my deer season is probably over (might go to NJ for their late season) I'm already counting down the days until may!
