I've run into this scenario multiple times past couple of years. I Have a gobbler strutting and gobbling down below me, and I'm up on top. No way to sweep to either side as woods are too open as it's early season. I can make every call in the book as well throw my calls etc. Gobbler does have one of those silent hens I'm sure but while a factor, let's take that factor out. He gobbled at everything I threw. I tried silent treatment. I tried gobbling, jake yelps, fighting purrs. I tried creeping back scratching and calling. Only thing in my Arsenal I didn't try was literally going over the hump and just shooting at him
Anyone have any really cool tips/tactics that I can add to the arsenal for gobblers over a crest either above or below?
I will say I've had good success sweeping and getting around on the sides of hills but due to openness and prop lines that's not an option.
