Set up and let it quiet down for 30 mins to see if you hear him. Then, if you don't hear him, turn you "sexy" on and slut up the woods with some hard cutting and clucking. Chances are, he will be ready to find that new chic in town!

Tried that Sunday afternoon. Got back to my camp Sunday morning about 10:30 and was cooking a stuffed chicken for lunch. Sitting on the couch watching basketball with the door open to camp and just screen door closed. I look up and there is a hen 40 yards from the door! It walks through my camp ground(10-15 yards from my trailer) and back into the woods. So I threw my gear back on. Got in the woods about 2pm. Sat down and heard 2 gobble, one in front and one behind me. Just called every 10 minutes or so. Finally about 4:30 one starts to close the distance and he is gobbling at me every time i yelp. he gets about 100 yards and hangs up. He started headin away again and my azz was getting numb so I left him alone and got outta there. Problem is with my place, it is very hilly and lots of creeks running everywhere. Hard to get them to come over a ridge to u or cross a creek. Went back to same area yesterday morning and hooted. Didnt hear a thing, so I decided to head back to work and give them a break.
