Turkey hunting problem.

[Icefishfun]

Hi I have been hunting the same farm for two weeks in mn and have seen 5 turkeys every morning at 7:30. There is a small hill on the property line where we see the turkeys and they pop up but I can't get them onto our property (about 40 yards). There is only one Tom and the rest are hens. I have a box call, push call, and slate call. I have no idea what to do and the place we see them are right on the edge of a corn field, in a grassy patch about 60 yards wide between 2 stands of trees that I can't get into because of the property line. What should I do and thanks for any suggestions.

My first thought is try it later in the day after those hens have been bred and are on their nests. I'd move my set up, that he's already seen a few times, and put out a different decoy set. (if you're using two try just one or visa versa) Call sparingly, let him come looking for that hen he saw earlier in the day.

Rig up a way to make your 1 or 2 decoys move a little, like one of those stakes that can rotate by pulling a string. Set that up where they can see it.

Also call LESS. If you have two visible decoys, it shouldn't sound like a whole flock is calling from your position. No calling at all might help more. Just one or two yelps to let them know you are in the area, then sit tight.

Is there any vocal response from the hens? I've had good luck targeting the hens with my calling if the Toms are held up and won't break to come check you out.

If you can get the dominant hen to come in, the Tom will follow. If she sounds aggressive with her cluckin'/puttin, pick a fight with her. Get her ticked off. When she comes in to kick your arse, the Tom shouldn't be far behind. What guy doesn't enjoy a good "chick" fight?

There is no calling from the hen and almost no gobbling because it is around 7:30. So does that change anyone's answer and by the way sometimes I can't even see the Tom because of the hill but we are almost 100% sure he is there thx

If you know the hens are there (see them), I've done a Ki-Ki-Run call followed by a couple clucks at the end of this sequence with no hesitation between the two. Based on past experience, if there's a dominant hen there, she will go ballistic. If there's Jakes in the area, they will come in also.

This all depends on your proficiency with a diaphragm call. But I haven't tried this with any other call than a diaphragm. Just my

All good advice above also see if you can get permission were they keep showing themselves at.

I would also hunt longer days to see were they end up later in the day. Let that Tom come looking to were he heard calling ealier in the day.

Good advice so far. tough it out in the blind as long as you can. If you can see their travel patterns later in the day make a move there. It's paid off for us times.
