Afternoon hunting is a different type of hunt. I have found over the years of hunting afternoons is that that success runs off of more of scouting and patterning areas where birds tend to feed before heading to roost. This maybe a field, watering area or maybe a ridge that they will feed towards roosting time. Calling is much different as well. Afternoon birds are not as aggressive as they are in the mornings so when calling I find that volume and being suttle is the most important and do not expect a gobbler to come in all fanned up and gobbling his fool head off because on a higher scale he is going to sneek in and he'll just all of a sudden show himself standing there looking. Movement from the hunters is also very important on these hunts as these queit birds will catch you well before you catch them. Setups should be well camoed up and even put sometime into your setup and make yourself disapear to the eye....
