RE: Henned up toms
Just keep in mind that not all gobbling turkeys, or hanged up birds are henned up. Its been my experinece that most turkeys that are gobbling after fly down do not have hens. You are trying to reverse nature and he wants you to come to him that is the major reason for "gobbling birds" that wont come in, in my opinion its not the hens. Most of the time when birds are with hens they just dont gobble at all. They are so use to hens running to them they see no reason to change that. So what you do will depend on the time of year, early in the season, i am aggressive, because i know if he keeps gobbling he will eventually attract a hen, and then all is quite. Season after season i have seen hens running to gobblers. Later in the season i assume its a bird that has been messed with or just is set on you comeing to him. So i play hard to get with soft calls changing position often and calling in sets every fifteen minutes or so. Hope this helps...
