[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 1577591, member: 17593"] Long, long ago, when I was introduced to Spring gobbler hunting, a very wise man gave me some pointers to be a better hunter. First , whatever shotgun you use, pattern it ! Try different chokes, different loads. Second, don't fall for the more shot is better. Those 3 1/2 inch shells shoot the big payloads much slower than a lighter load and when you pattern them, they may be a lot less effective,too. Lastly, sometimes "jealousy" will bring in the tom. I used a hen call one time and she came in close, but the tom was right behind her. Another time, a tom would not come to the hen call. Changed to a gobble and he came a runnin!:p [/QUOTE]
