I get in close and have a callin contest with a hen 50 yds from me still in tree. He was answering me over her though. Then I watch 4 hens fly down right in front of me to where the Tom was. They were on other side of creek so I try to loop back around and cross creek. Did that and he never answered me again. Hopefully these hens will start nesting soon.

Once they start nesting, I like to go in the middle of day the when they are on their nest & the gobblers are without their little hunny's. Have killed a few like that, "If" you can get one to answer he's normally already on his way & it happens pretty quick.
