Default It's showtime tomorrow - Need Advice

I'll be out on youth hunting day tomorrow. I did final scouting this morning. There is a bird that sounds off every morning 35 minutes before sunrise and does not shut up for about an hour. Everytime I have scounted I hear this bird in the same vicinity. I've done my scouting from the top of a steep ridge. The bird I've been hearing is a couple hundred feet downhill. The entire area is forested with few openings. How do I set up on this bird? It always sounds off on its own so I do not see a need for a crow call. What do I do when I hear the first gobble. I start at the top of the ridge on the road and have about a mile of woods between me and the river below. The further in the woods I go, the more downhill it is. Thanks
