Who all calls to them on the limb in the morning vs waiting to hear them fly down before calling?

To my own detriment and fault, I don't usually get to roost birds the night before so i don't get on them until after fly down most times. I've gotten on a few on the limb but not a lot.

If I set down on one that ant flew down I'm gonna call to him soft and not a lot of it.

I give them some soft tree talk to let them know a hen is there. Then I shut up until they've flown down. Unless there are real hens calling to the gobbler. Then I try to out call the hens.

I call to every one of them on the limb. Talked the one I got this morning straight off the limb into my lap, I feel if I didn't call on the limb, my success would go way down

This is exactly what I do.   I have more than once turned them on the limb towards me.

Very Soft tree yelps to let him know where I am and when he gobbles, I won't call again until I know he is on the ground.

Same as most have replied, very soft tree yelps to let him know a hen is there waiting for him. Especially so if there are several hens around.

In the open, it's just a " look at me", but in the woods, I will be more vocal until they fly down. Then it's snafu, lol. Z

 Years ago I hung several on the roost by over calling.

Today it is Very minimal and Very soft when at all. If I suspect no hens around I make 0 calls

I like to let them know I mean business .. I'm the hen he wants ..

Nothing like seeing a kids eyes light up upon hearing that first gobble.
