OK, got these four gobblers that hang together every year. They are now probably 3 or 4 years old. All are huge and have at least 10 to 12 inch beards. You never see them with hens. There is a big flock of hens within a 1/4 mile from them right now that has 3 younger gobblers struting around with that flock. This goes on through the entire season. I see them every day, they stay on a piece of property that I can't hunt, but I can set up close to thier area (within 100 yards). They gobble at anything. But refuse to come. And of course like a stupid idiot, I will try again to kill one, but I have the feeling that they enjoy thier own company rather than a sweet hen!
 
:D This has to be the funniest thread topic I have ever seen :D

LOL

Maybe your neighbor keeps a good stash of gold nuggets spread out over there?

Heck, get 4 pretty boys and set them up together. They might think they will each have a new "partner" without all the fighting :D :D :D
 
As crazy as this is gonna sound, this tactic (that I literally stumbled upon) works with gobbler groups like yours. Bust'em up...just like fall hunting and all of sudden they might become the most callable gobblers you've ever worked. As well, I've had as much success with coarse gobbler clucks as I have with easy hen talk.

Hope you drop the hammer on 1...or 2...or 3.

I'm sure that they do, I have just never been able to intercept them. I sat one hole day and never called just hoped I could bushwack one of them. Had hens on the flat I was in a they just stayed down there struting and gobbeling. And the hens eventually left the area! go figure.

Thought about stacking a prettyboy on top of another. You should have seen the look my wife gave me. She said, I hope someone see's you doing that with them decoy's they're gonna think your some kinda pervert! LOL, So I tossed that out of the play book.

If I could get on that property, I'd beat one to death with a stick!
 
I have a similar situation where I hunt. Last year, I had the whole bachelor group break and come in after about an hour of working them. I find that with these birds, gobbler sounds are the best tactic: fighting purs, gobbler clucks and yelps, spitting and drumming, probably even gobbling ( i 've not used this one). I bet fanning those boys would work too if you were in a place where you could. And like the others have said, I bet when you do kill one you will find he is full of corn!
