Ok guys, I’m normally not one to ask these types of hunting scenario questions but this season has beat me up and down with only one gobbler under my belt.
Been hunting a gobbler with a harem of hens. I know roughly where he and his hens roost. I called him and another gobbler up and couldn’t get a shot two weeks ago. Now the group is down to one lone gobbler and 10 hens as of this morning. The gobbler acts very hesitant to break from the hens and I’ve accidentally spooked him twice which maybe another reason he’s call shy without seeing a hen because I normally hunt with no decoys.
These birds are out in big ag fields and are very difficult to move and reposition on. Lots of eyes!
As the season winds down I’m getting desperate
I’m contemplating taking a hen and jake decoy and setting up next hunt. I’m thinking since he’s the lone gobbler with all the hens he may get territorial with the jake but unsure because it’s late season here in MS.
Thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!
