I find that the Eastern hens can be very vocal and mnay different times during any of the times I have hunted them through the season. If you can really make one mad she will come marching right in and thus bring Mr. Tom with her!

I have had hens attack my decoys more than Toms in the past 5 years.

Trick is to mimic her note for note and cluck for cluck. She talks you talk. She get louder you get louder, she stops you stop callin', she starts cut her off and call back. About the 3rd time look out as her she comes lookin' to kick you butt!
