I’d imagine that if one limited the hunt to mature gobblers, the challenge would be considerable. The few I’ve run into have been pretty dang wary, and were solo. Scattering a flock of hens and poults then calling one in doesn’t seem all that tough, but the one time I did it for my young son it was a lot of fun, and he sure enjoyed it. I woulda had one too if not for the balky magazine in my .22/45.
We have another few days in January when hunters using stick bows or sidelock MLs can shoot a turkey, a bear (good luck with THAT) or a deer, another mixed bag opportunity. I’ll be hoping for snow that week.
