just keep trying, saturday I couldnt get a bird to cross an open field, sunday I got one in the same area to cross a creek, country road, and 2 stone walls in about 10min.

on a good day nothing will stop him from getting to you.. on a bad one anything and everything will

I once had a bird hang up at a shallow dry creekbed  presumably because of the loose, baseball sized rocks would make tough walking. We once i realized what was happening, we slipped around to his side, got above him, called once and he came in on a string. They can be amazingly fickle critters.  :)
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 hunt some private land birds on a small farm that cross a creek almost every day by choice.  It's pretty decent size.  When they do cross, they almost always use the same spot coming and going.  That being said, I always try to avoid calling them across any obstructions if I can.  The one you're talking about I wouldn't even consider as an obstruction.  How's that for a vague and non-answer answer?  Good luck!

It takes a lonely gobbler and a good deal of patience. I didn't have either when they flew off the roost across the creek this weekend.
