Strategies for mid day and evening hunts

[FlyFishNut]

I'd like to get out during the week and can sometimes slip away mid day or in the evenings.

I've bagged one bird in the evening after calling a hen in that had a Tom in tow.  Other than that one evening I have seen a couple birds from far off that seemed to be on the move but haven't heard any birds.  I am setting up shop on the top of a small hill from a creek where there is a clearing.  I sit in the wood line and put my decoys in the clearing.  I've seen prints by the creek.

Question:  If I cannot get into the woods until mid day, should I be hunting certain terrain/areas?  Ie, creek bottoms?  Should I try walking and calling??  Anything I should try mid day vs evening strategy wise?

Any recommendations appreciated!

Cheers,
FFN

Use a crow call and strike a bird.  I've seen evening birds that were just as hot as straight off the roost and I've seen them when you had to take it easy and soft.    Try a single Hen decoy and soft cluck and put style calling.

The farms I've hunted afternoons is slow. The birds will slip in silent. I usually camp out in a blind and call light.
