[QUOTE="PalsPal, post: 5590495, member: 12242"] I've had numerous occasions where I'm begging with him to "please just shut up"! Was on a WMA a few years ago, and set up on a gobbler not too far from a road (and yes I did hear him from the road while using a locator call), when I hear a vehicle coming down the gravel road, and stop not too far from where I was parked. I heard the door open and immediately they were blowing a crow call. The entire time I was saying, "please don't gobble, please don't gobble...". He did not "Whew!" They got back in the vehicle and drove off. After waiting a few minutes to let everything quieten back down, I gave a couple of soft yelps, and he came in and I killed him. With that said, I do use a crow and an owl call sparingly, and when I feel the time is right and have great success. Another point related to the encounter I just mentioned is that, had I drove down the road and saw the vehicle parked, I would have kept going and not risked messing up someone else's hunt, but that is the potential peril of hunting public land.
