[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 2343991, member: 95733"] My advice? Go get breakfast. But seriously in my 30+ years of hunting turkeys IME there is no more difficult situation to overcome than a hened up Tom and if on public ground again IME it is THE most difficult situation to overcome. In MY experience a Tom with hens can only be killed one of three ways #1-Best way and only way I know works more often than not is if you know which way they're headed haul *** and get in front of them and either call him in or ambush him #2-A long shot at best is If you can sound like a boss hen try to call in the boss hen if one is with him I done it only 2x and only 1x can I honestly say it worked in the last 15 seasons since I learned of it. #3-Longer even and I never did it myself but watched my friend do it, he sounded like two Boss toms fighting using a mouth call and a paddle call while scratching the underbrush just out of sight from a Tom out in a big field with hens as I sat concealed in the brush on the field edge he didn't get the Tom to come flying in but he did get him to come from about 150 yards out to under 60 and that was enough for me get him.
