I do a few soft tree yelps too let them know where I am. A fly-down cackle later with wing beats with my hat, followed by a few yelps.
I saw a hen do a fly-down cackle this morning...but the two toms that later followed her, were completely silent when they flew down from the same roost tree.
I was lucky enough to bag one of them this morning with my shotgun --- 23 pounds, 10" beard with 1 1/8" spurs.
