I'd like to keep the list going...

#11) Mix it up and take chances! At this point in the season, you're hunting partner is falling asleep at the base of a tree on a regular basis, your dog has taken over your side of the bed, and the family is totally convinced that "the old man" is completely off his rocker... Don't be afraid to take chances, and definitely do not be shy about calling aggressively. When a young hen comes into "heat", she yelps higher and longer than an old wise hen...

#12) Sleep in and hunt later. If your job allows it, go to work till 10 then hunt the last few hours of the mid-morning. Not only will you feel much better with the sleep, but the birds may be more ameniable to your lovesick calls...

#13) Dig an old call out of your spares at home and use it in the woods. It will be a different sound, and may be the deal. If not, you can justify the need, to buy new calls, to the wife

#14) Try the stupidest stuff you can think of...and then go beyond. On the last day, 3 years ago, I had hunted a large tom all season. That morning was perfect---chilly, little wind and clear---but no gobbles. The bird had roosted just off my private property the entire season, and I could not coerce him over. I used 2 rounds from my 12 gauge ~7:30 to get him to shock gobble, whereby I then proceeded to carry on 5+ minutes with continuous yelping. It was too much, and within 10 minutes he was finally 20 yards from the end of the muzzle, in full strut and gobbling like mad...

#15) Look for new property. Many times guys tag out on a large property, and towards the end of the season you can get permission from the landowner, especially on larger farms where the farmers are seeing the birds on a daily basis. I've come to learn over the years that to farmers, turkeys are the second biggest menace (#1 still Mr. Woodie) to their crops, fields and fences, and therefore usually are glad to give permission later in the season---which in the Northern climates, coincides with corn planting...
