I hate'em!!! Can't seem to do anything with them. What do you all do with them, if anything? My only option is to leave them and come back later. :confused:
 
Call softly and convince them to come visit. Pissing the boss off works 1 out of 10 times in my experience, it more times then not leads to them leading the whole flock away.

I personally love a good stubborn henned up bird, any one can kill a lonely gobbler. True skill in calling, setup, and turkey voodoo are required to kill henned up birds, with no decoys, ambushing, bushwhacking etc etc.

Find folks who consistently kill birds with hens, and you have found someone to listen to.

I love lonely birds as well, but love the challenge of beating the odds.

Sounds alot like the HOOK! ;)
 
dont call too much. especially when they are on the roost. set up as best you can. start calling when the bird hits the ground and gobbles. Dont yell at em....they are sensitive, LOL

Call softly and less frequently.

In other words.....speak when spoken too.

Its hard to speak when they got rubberbands on their beaks. ;) They don't make a sound other than scratching in the leaves.
 
These birds wrote the book on how to make somebody look like an idiot. Soft calling doesn't work, scratching in the leaves, almost impossible to set up on, roost in different trees every night, gobbles once, no more than two times tops, he's just letting the hens know where HE is. Have not heard him gobble after he hits the ground.
