I had the same problem this year, My uncle came on Thursday around noon, we went to the woods around 2 pm. I hit the crow call, my uncle thought he heard a gobble in the distance. So we found a pair of trees to sit by about 20 feet apart. I hit the mouth call and heard a distant gobble as well. The bird was on another property and we had a large alfalfa hillside dropping into a wooded valley where the bird was located. We sat close to the fence splitting the property. I waited a few minutes and yelped again, and heard the gobble. A Hawk flew over and screached and the bird gobbled again. I waiting another 2 or 3 minutes and yelped and the next gobble was within 30 yards just over the hill, he must have been on a full on run to the call. I raised my gun and I his head appeared just across the fence and he stood there neck craned looking for a hen. Boom, 23 pounds 10 inch beard and it took all of 5 minutes in the middle of the afternoon.
