RE: Reluctant Gobblers
LOL Boxcall......that technique was just explained to me by my uncle last evening over a brew. He explained basically the same thing you just did and mentioned that the gobblers will start to get nervous and come in if they think the hot hen is going away from them. The key, he said, was to keep the shooter in the direct line between the turkey and the caller.
Now if I could just figure out how to produce the same effect by myself from a blind! I'd like to take one with the bow, but the lack of mobility inherent in blind hunting seems tough to overcome.
