TRUE! Mimic the boss hen and cut her off when she's trying to get her 2 pence in.

I like to mock her note for note.  If its the boss lady, a lot of times, she will come to inspect.

I do the same - but I also raise the volume a bit and that seems to really get her excited.  During the NC youth hunt - I got a hen to come 200 yards to about 5 yards from me and steam was coming out her ears. Lots of cutting and aggressive purrs.  Unfortunately she only brought 5 jakes with her.  But it was fun none the same.

The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

Yeah but a hen won't give you a black eye, throw out all your beer and make you sleep on the couch!   :z-dizzy:

This happened to me my first afternoon turkey hunt.I was set up behind a log and called every so often,kind of windy so I used the box call also.Well after 1 1/2 hours I heard a God awful noise coming and it was a hen and she had company,unfortunatetly I rush the shot and missed the tom. Last year I called in a hen but couldnt turn to see.She was real fired up,we cut back and forth, but I cant buy a succesful afternoon hunt.
