I've been hunting Elk and Deer forever but was only one Turkey hunt two seasons ago. I was in full camo sitting against a tree. To my right was my cousin (more experienced turkey hunter) calling and to his right, his son also hunting. There was at least 10 yards between myself and the other hunter.
In front of us, about 30 yards, was the roosting tree. We were able to call in a couple of hens. One walked about 8 feet in front of me. We were unable to get that Tom to "come on down".
Sending the hens as sort of a scouts ahead of the Tom, is that normal? Was there anything we should have done differently? That was the morning hunt, during the evening hunt (3:30ish) we only saw a hen.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
