Rob (or others), a lot of people have mentioned that they will not call if the bird is within eyesight insofar as not giving away their position. One of the things that makes me think about what I did wrong on this bird was the inability to call. But some people mentioned that I should not have called anyway. What do you think?
Under circumstances when one can see the bird or even know the bird is coming, one doesn't have to call, he's coming.......in your circumstance, he was hung up, he wasn't coming anyway and you have nothing to loose by giving a few seductive soft calls like purrs.....it may be all you needed at that point....if they are coming, let them come look for you.....but if they need a little reassurance....purr or real soft yelps or clucks. At that point you had nothing to loose. Like in my case.....Another PA Success Story..see post.... He was responding great, and coming so I was silent and called only to check on him until I saw him....once I saw him and he was coming I shutup for him to find me......once I saw him head off, I started calling again to keep him located while I moved on him....once I had him committed again and he hung up, I pulled out the MOJO and purred...he stepped out and the rest is...well let's say he'll be on my main beam, half strut gobblin off the limb in about 12-14 months...LOL
