MO-KS, Once the early morning excitement ends. I'll move around through the woods. I like to use locator calls to get a tom to shock gobble. Crow is the most common locator call, and it works very well. If I simply can't get a tom to answer me, but I find a area full of turkey sign. Sometimes I'll just setup, and hen call anyways. I did this today as a matter of fact. It was 10:30am, andI got a tom to open up after 20mins of blind calling.Its weird how it seems there isn't a tom to be found, then out of the blue one starts in, and hammers out the gobbles. I worked him in to 40yds from my dad, but he couldn't get the shot.

Another thing I absolutely love to do(which answers another part of your question)is if I canentice a hen to answer me. Nothing like pissing off a hen. I'll do my best to match her call for call. It drives then nuts, and you'll often bring her in, hopefully a tom in tow. So personally henned up tomsis just a bigger challenge I love to tackle. Work the boss hen, and the tom often follows!
