A preferred male will call each of his contingent by name.  When she fails to show up when called , he is vulnerable.  The other gobblers will sneak up on you, a back door man so to speak.
"[T]he changing environment will someday be totally and irrevocably unsuitable for the wild turkey.  Unless mankind precedes the birds in extinction, we probably will not be hunting turkeys for too much longer."  Ken Morgan, "Turkey Hunting, A One Man Game

I think they all break apart at some point in the day sometimes it's just latter than others.

Yep, just like us.  We love our wives dearly, but at some point you just got to get away!

Well we at least like 'em...a lot...

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

They weren't having any of it today my legs feel like they've been ran over with a Mack truck walked all over the place today. I tried cutting the hens off after just some normal chatter with them didn't work the gobblers would gobble if I got aggressive but they wouldn't work in. They gave us the slip without indicating where they went. Tomorrow's another day.....

You are gonna get these birds.  Say it with me.  "I am gonna get these birds".  You got the hard part figured out. Just get in their living room and they will eventually wander in.  You got em.  Just stick to it. Please tell us when it works.  It will seem so easy that day. I got faith in ya brother.
Psalms 118v24: This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Turkey hunting is hunting.  Play the cards you are dealt the best you can.

At the start of the season in my area gobblers will stay with hens all day.  I notice this more when the Tom has a large group of hens, but if they only have a couple hens or later in the season, they tend to leave the hens around 9:00.
Good luck
