I hunt turkeys in Iowa and they are not responding to a call at all, i mean they gobble but wont come in to the decoys. I got a bow tag this year and my season goes to May 15 but i think im about to give up. Saw 10 different gobblers today and not one of them would come in. They are henned up really badly, anyone know when they usually break free from the hens. Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

Thanks,

Call early let them here you and wait.
Set up on a oak flat or other semi open area close to where they went thru.
After the toms have bread the hens with them they look for your hen.
I would be hunting out of a blind of some kind.
Call every once in a while and wait.
Most of the time a tom will come in quite.
So be sure to watch.

3 or 4 years ago I sprained a anckel and used this method to get my bird.
Here in Ohio we can hunt till noon and I think I got my bird at 11:40 or so.

Good luck

yeah i've been told that exact same thing before. thats actually about what i'm going to do. except that i'm going to set out a decoy where two roads meet. it can be seen from a long distance and i know the birds travel it.
