Won't go to the woods without one. PERIOD!
Where I currently live, the tracts of land I can hunt are smaller than average and definitely not what I'm used to. You can hear everything on these farms and blundering aimlessly to a location in the dark is going to mess you up real fast. It's best, in these situations, to locate the bird first. Once I know where he's at, I then know where he's going. Just gotta get between me and that location. Once I've done that, calling is merely a matter of getting him to commit my way just a bit before he decides to cross over to the neighbors plot. And, often times, it lets me know if I'm wasting my time there and need to drive to the next location to try again. Obviously, ymmv.
