I've been hunting one bird all season. I actually hit him with my crossbow but hit him low as he jumped on my jake decoy. I thought he was lost because I never found him and he left a big blood trail that vanished. I gave it about two weeks and went back to clear out all my gear (private land but not my own) and as I was walking back saw him by my blind. I know it's him because he has a limp and is missing half his beard. Anyways, I've been going after him the last two weekends but he is hennaed up so morning is impossible. His boss hen hears any calling she flies into a neighbors field and brings him with her. In the afternoon his schedule is random. Should I just sit and wait all day, let him roam and come back next season, or get really aggressive with my calls in the morning? I've had one guy tell me to get close to where the hen roosts and hit my gobble call as he gobbles. What do you guys think?
