If this bird is the "real king", undisputed top of the pecking order, then forget tryin to sound like a hen. You need to challenge his throne! You need to sneak in as tight as you dare to his roost, and give him hell on a gobbler call. When he gobbles, you gobble twice. Really challenge his authority. Give a realistic fly down with a wing or a hat, and have a strutter deke close. After he's off the limb, try spitting and drumming with your voice if u can pull it off. You really need to piss him off if u wanna kill this old bird. Good luck!
That ol' tom's already dead. He just don't know it yet .... The hard part is convincing him.

Are you REALLY working that gobbler, or is HE working YOU?

I would do one of two things....

First try the mid day hunting as mentioned above.  If that doesn't work, if at all possible slip in way before daylight if you know where they are roosting.  Keep the call in your vest, use a wing and scratch in the leaves only.

We have a similar bird where we hunt, and we named him Einstein.
If we get a couple of birds to gobble we will work another bird 1st, if he is the only one we hear, then we try him. Has not worked so far, going on the 4Th year.

If you really want to kill the Boss Gobbler, I would say hunt one of the other birds that you said you neglected to hunt him, early until around 10:00.

After the early morning hunt, sneak into the area of the big boy and try to work him after he is done with the hens.

Have you seen him? Is it that good of a bird? Or as it become PERSONAL?

Walk right in them and bust them like a Fall flock. Get set up,  in a good place after you get a good bust on them,  call him in and kill him. If this does not work call me with detailed location were he is  :TooFunny: just kidding. Good luck. And busting them away from hens off the roost has worked me several times.


:OGturkeyhead:

1. Get your self a sledgehammer.
2. At midnight, ninja up to his roost tree.
3. Sledgehammer his bedroom sending him into the darkness.
4. Lay down and go to sleep.
5. At daylight, call them back together.
