Typical day of the Tom.
He gobbles from the roost to call to his hens. He might gobble on the ground and struts to impress the ladies. If chosen he gets to mate. After all hens are mated they start to wander away from him as the hen(s) are picking a nest sight. He may find he is all alone a few hours after sunup. When this happens he will start gobbling again.
The above is a typical scenario.

Or is no mating is allowed he will continue to walk around strut and follow his hens. There will almost no gobbling at all which is very frustrating to us as we don't know where he is. Thus many people over call at this time.

To answer your question - Yes go! Be careful entering the field. Glass it well before you go to your ideal set up place. I wouldn't call at all to check but would glass the field real well. You have hunted there before you know where and how they enter the field.
I have taken quite a few Toms well after sun up to noon and even past that.
