im all henned up
here in KY its some rough hunting, birds will gobble on roost but once they hit the ground they won't respond so I assume they are henned up and it should end soon but tomarrow is the last day of my 2 week vacation and I need some suggestions...who am I kidding I am desperate!

I have often wished I had a Machine Gun and when one Gobbles. Just Spray that Tree till it falls down. I get so fusterated sometimes.
Good Luck, at least you are honest with yourself.

I have been having the same problem. But mine gobble right under the roost tree and the hens come a runnin. I am gonna see if I can get one to gobble real early and sneak in right under him in the dark. Then when he flies down, put him down.

I'm not in your shoes, so I can't tell you exactly what I would do...... but here is some no duh advice from the peanut gallery...
What you are doing now isn't working, so you have gotta try something different. Don't go in tomorrow trying what hasn't worked out the last two weeks just hoping that today it will be different.... it won't. You gotta make something happen. Heck... try gobbling back at him.... make the hens hold up or come to you.... fight purr.... bust the flock the night before off the roost and call them back the next morning.... heck.... something.... gotta mix it up! Good luck.

If you are fortunate enough with having some extra shooting areas, move on to the next bird. I was so frustrated because the same Tom had his hen after flying down two mornings in a row and i couldnt call him away, even using hen decoy and several call mix-ups.
I was hearing multiple gobbles in the morning when I shocked them with my owl hoot so I figured they all couldnt be cassanova. The very next day I moved my blind I was able to call out two toms with my passive jake and hen decoy.
Unfortunately the two toms were 2 yr olds at the best and I know there are 3 and 4 yr olds in there. I will hopefully be showing the picture of him tomorrow!!! Im going in about 4:30 or 5 am so I can get them roosting and call the big daddy downfirst.
