Single Gobbler Tactic
Turkey Hunting Tips:As the turkey hunting season progresses, often gobblers can be found alone later in the morning. In most cases, these gobblers will be more susceptible to turkey calling techniques at this time.
After locating a single gobbler, try to set up within a hundred yards or so without being detected. Make sure this location will allow the gobbler easy walking access with no obstacles to work around.
Once in position, start off calling with soft yelps, purrs, or clucks to see if the gobbler responds. In some cases the gobbler will respond by gobbling immediately during or shortly after the hunters calling effort.
If this occurs, continue calling softly once or twice more and then stop calling altogether. Often the gobbler will head in the direction of the hunter. Be patient and wait the gobbler out.
In other cases, the gobbler will only respond to more aggressive yelps and cutting type calling tactics. In this instance, increase the aggression level as need be for a few series and then stop calling. Allow the gobbler to work his way into the set up.
If after thirty minutes or so the gobbler has not made an appearance, start back calling. Sometimes it will be necessary to continue being aggressive to the gobbler all the way in. Each gobbler will be different. Allow the gobbler to dictate the calling sequences and style.
