Default RE: Tom hanging up......

buck...I had this happen twice last year...I assume it was the same bird...1st time we talked back and forth for 1 1/2 hours...until he walked off...I did not follow to try and cut off....these birds live in the woods all year....I don't...LOL

The second time I waited 3-4 days and went back...I set up two hens about 25 yards in front of me...waited until about 15 minutes before sunup...clucked 4 times on my box call....he answered...I shut up (which is hard for me to do)....1 1/2 hours later he came in...gobbled 4 times on his way in....I dropped him at 15 yards...

I think turkeys are like deer and fish....sometimes agressive, sometimes not...he may come running in the next day...or...he might not be a very agressive bird in that case less calling might be better..Its kinda like bass fishing...one morning they are tearing up top water baits...the next, you might have to drop a plastic worm on their head to bite..thats what is so great about hunting....nothing always works...Good luck...nchawkeye
