Set up so he can't see you until he is within 40 yards and you might be able to get him to come look. Some men are mere hunters; others are turkey hunters. —Archibald Rutledge—

When he approaches and gets to a point where he can see where the calling is coming from don't call and don't move. He knows EXACTLY where the calls came from and he expects to see a hen standing there. When he can see where you are and you call and he sees no hen�he smells a rat. Lonster

Sometimes that doesn't leave the best shots and let's a few slip bye with no shot but it works. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Edmund Burke
