Had one come to my calls and he walked past the back side of the tree I was sitting up against. He was drumming like crazy and his wing tips were dragging through the leaves less than 10 feet behind me. He wandered off heading along the ridge and I figured he was gone. He gobbled about 250 yards off and I cutt hard on the box call as I switched sides of the tree. He slowly came back to inside 30 yards and I ended up carrying him out. One of my top 10 best birds.
Also had another hung up bad for over an hour. He came close to my shooter once, but was behind cover, then went back to where he had been strutting. I eased away from the bird down the creek bed and started cutting hard, to make it sound like the hen was leaving. This time he walked where the shooter could see and he made the shot. Also a grown gobbler.
