I'd be the first thing he heard after his first gobble. sometimes if you put a thought in their head right off the bat they will ,make a plan to come to you and not change course. im not talkin heavy but I would start light and work my way to agressive if need be

95% of the hunters will tell u to call on the limb - that don’t mean it the right thing to do always and sometimes if u call on limb or don’t it will not matter what u do
It is nice when they read the script and come to u when u float that beautiful call out there - but that don’t always happen
Nature tells that gobbler to wait and gobble and his hen will come to him when he gobbles and lot of times when u hammer him he will stay up there and strut and wait on u and longer he stays up there - more likely a hen will go to him. If his hens are close - it is a hard game - u need to be close - sometimes the hens will play the game but more times than not they take him away
Getting where he wants to go is good option or coming back to that area in afternoon and try to call is option - but U hav to be ready for silent approach lot of times
If I see where to my want to go - lot of times I will swing on them r get out n front
If u are calling and u can see the turkeys and u are in open area - they almost will never come because they expect to see a hen right there - I like to hav stuff around me to make them hunt me a little - hav lanes to shoot - Real open area and u call and it wide open no hen - they gone hang - atleast the turkeys in Marengo county will. Generally when I see them - not too much longer I gone be shooting them unless I in big field r clear cut
And this is not that popular among turkey hunters - but guys I know that hav killed hundreds of birds often don’t call on the limb - guy that killed 30 a year for 30 years don’t very often - guy I know in the industry that use to be on 50 to 70 kills a year don’t ever call on the limb - just saying Good luck - sounds like u got some turkeys
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self We need prayer for our country now more than ever

If he has been called to already this year I would never answer him. I would cut off any hen yelp and do everything I could to bring them to me. I love messing with an old boss hen and if she gets mad you'll have every gobbler within a mile gobbling. I don't do this much but I've had hens limb hop from 2-300 yards away before fly down just to get close to me. This

Go in a hour before they gobble to your property line and see if they are crossing over. Most turkeys won't travel east early in the morning but not all turkeys have the same rule book, Won’t travel East early in the mornings got me thinking?? Anyone else experienced this? I’ve never heard such

I haven’t hunted a bird all year I believe that didn’t have a hen with them or coming to them You put a hex on this season when ya polished the mojo outta that certified turkey killer. 😃 You deserve a good hunt bud, I know you’ve been putting in some quality time they just haven’t been cooperating. Good luck and I hope you bust that slump next chance you get.
