[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5305069, member: 2805"] I don't think you can just take the hen factor out. That's the single most important thing in how you approach the situation. Early season with a hen...she isn't breeding, he isn't leaving her. He will stay with her all day unless he gets whooped off by another tom. You either call her in, you get in front of them, or you sneak close enough (50 to 75y) to purr and chirp to get him to break just enough off her to check you. Not enough cover... too bad, leave him for later in the season, or wait till they get into terrain that allows you to get closer. Mid season with one or two hens, just stay in contact. Midday hens will break off to lay, and he can become suicidal. Easy peasy, but it may take 4 or 5 hours. Tom with no hens... reposition, reposition, and reposition. Hopefully the switch flips before he gobbles up a real hen and the game is over. Or you can just go over the crest of the hill with a strutter decoy and have him charge you and reap him at 10y. No other tactics or skill required. Post your kill on Facebook while at the same time you feel like you just scored with a prostitute instead of the homecoming queen. [/QUOTE]
