Default RE: Question for you experts...

If you know where he roosts, you also have 2 other options...

1) Just after the birds roost in the eveing, kick them off. That henned up gobbler will be looking hard for any ladies the next morning.

2) Get in the woods super early and set up within 50 yards of his roost. Under the cover of darkness, I can't count how many birds I've set up on really close. You should be able to get between him & his hens...

bottom line: Until his hens start going to nest, he's going to be hard to call in to the gun. Keep the decoys at home, probably did more harm than good, especially when he put on a show and your deke didn't come his way...
