Default RE: Calling Tactics...scenario

1- I'd hit a crow call to make sure that hen didn't head for the hills and the gobbler was coming in silent. If no response, I'd try to cut them off or find another bird. If nothing else happens, I'd hit that same spot a couple hours later and wait til he's done with that hen, cuz he'll be back for you.

2- I'd quit calling and scratch the leaves a little. Throw in a very quiet purr and maybe a couple light clucks because you are contently feeding and not interested in that Tom. Don't respond to his gobbles, just be quiet and ignore him,occasionally makingsounds just so he knows thatyou are still there and couldn't care less about him. I have done this before to hung up birds in almost the same scenario and it has worked for me.
