Every run & gunner out there stops and yelps 7 times
I like to yelp 9 times:D

And as long as I scare them all off besides the one the commits, I don't care;)

When being aggressive stops working, I'll stop.

I know that if I wasn't calling to the bird that was 80 yards out in the field strutting, last year, as much as I did. I'd have never killed him.
If I only had 5 days to hunt I might too ,but we have all month.

Hunting on a Saturday around here is like going to Wal- Mart during a spandex clearance sale.[:o]

MN....If I remember correctly....

I think we both shot jakes last year. Do you feel being aggressive in your calling is limiting you on your chances wih a more mature bird?

Just asking.

Have any of you guys experienced the birds getting call shy like the elk are out west?

To be honest, Schultzy......I'm thinking I made them that way, last year.;)

You are correct,we both shot jakes.

However, No, I saw him fly off the roost and then I saw him strutting 80-90 yards out (a little after) , I made the choice in my mind to call him in, and shoot him. (or at least try). And it worked out.

And if I had a month, my tactics might change too.
