Another situation where I’ll use a blind and decoys is when a tom is roosted on a piece of property that I can’t hunt, but every morning he flies down into a field that I can hunt.

Tactics for Calling and Taking Turkeys

Everyone gets excited about learning to call turkeys better, and all my life I've been a student of turkey calling. But it’s just as important to know when NOT to call turkeys. If you call to a turkey when he doesn’t want to hear your call, you'll do more to keep him away from you than you'll do to bring him to you. Each gobbler is different and responds to various calls in different ways.
