Default Problem Turkey

I am preparing for the weekend hunt - last weekend I took a friend hunting on his farm - Trying to nab his first bird with me calling - The toms on this property have plenty of hens to work with in the morning - Our set up last weekend was in an open field with drops on each side. As the toms pitch for the morning they will gobble up the edge of the hill toward the open field at the top - never breaking the crest of the hill - It seems as if they meet the hens half way up just below our setup, turn and exit back from where they came from off roost! My plan of action this weekend is to invade as deep into their turf as possible, closing the gap - also I don't want to setup on top of the ridge - seems as if I would have better luck if I get on his level. One more problem, there is not much room to work with on the side of the two ridges. Any advice?
