Wing your partially right. IF you can get that hen to come too you then the game is over. BUT for me anyhow, 9 xs of 10 the hens go too the tom and then take him off in directly the opposite direction from "that hussy over there under a tree". As much fun as it is to call too a hot gobbler on the roost, its usually a waste of time and only educates the birds too your calling. While still dark and they are up on the limb I prefer to listen to other sounds that they answer (trucks in the distance, dogs barking, coyotes yapping and my favorite the old hoot owls arguing with em!) and try too close in on them. BUT that typically requires a little knowledge of the lay of the land and past experience with birds in the same area and what they do when they fly down (that being where they typically head). And if a hen IS on the way too them or already there underneath them, then you are just about suckin hine tit! [:@]

I prefer to find a gobbler or two that are off by themselves in smaller woodlots, get between them and either known strutting zones or get between them and larger woodlots that are known roosting areas for hens and larger populations of birds. 3/4 of the battle is won right from the start if you are either already where the toms want to go or if you are between them and such a location.
