[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5071178, member: 2805"] Was there water/ live creek in the bottom you were in? If so, I would have not done anything different than you this early in the season. The flock will often work its way in the direction of the closest water off the roost, especially after the hens are actually laying. I pretty much assume toms have hens this time of the year, sometimes you get lucky and find a satellite without. that being said, if this were my only chance at him (I wouldn't be hunting the property again this year), I would have gotten crazy aggressive with the calling... like 2 hens fighting using a pot and a mouth call at the same time, throwing jake yelps at him, and then even gobbling back at him to challenge him. Sure, that will probably shut him up and send the flock the other way, but if it's your only chance at him, what do you have to lose? I once had a hung up tom that wouldn't budge for an hour break for me after a series of jake caulking. [/QUOTE]
