Find out where he wants to go, then get there ahead of him.

I set up on one one day that was gobbling his danged fool head off and he went the other way. I came back to him the next day from the other side and he went up the ridge I was on the day before! That 2nd day I went and hunted another bird for an hour and a half or so and, when I was heading back to my truck, I heard him comming back down the ridge, looking for that hen he heard but didn't see. I ran back in the woods and got there ahead of him... He tasted REEEEAAALLL GOOOOOD!

I had another one, once, that gobbled strong on the limb behind me(I had to set up on him that way), flew down towards me came in on my off side and walked right on by. I called to turn him around, but he had a destination in mind. He gobbled over his shoulder at me all the way out of the woods, across a pasture, and out of sight. Never saw that bird again! If I could have gotten ahead of him, I believe I could have got him.

Sometimes you can pull em in on a string, other times.. well, no matter what you do, it just ain't their day to die.

That's what makes turkey hunting so much fun!
