If a tom responds to my call during the late season I often don’t call much more. Two and four legged predators have chased turkeys for months and the surviving toms tend to be very alert. Given all this, my late season strategy is to locate a tom and set up in an area where […]

Toms gobble during the peak of mating season to attract hens. Gobbles also attract other toms. If a tom has multiple hens he doesn’t want to attract more gobblers to the party and will often remain quiet, at least until the hens have dispersed.
