I'd Gobble at him.

If I was in Georgia and it was in the pines. I'd walk to him with my shot gun pointed at him. When I was at 30 yards I'd ask him what his problem was then shoot. :thumbup:

Honestly, if the bird isn't interested, I would get real soft on the calling then move further away and get around on him. Stealth in and kill. If your the type that throws all ur calls at him while he is hung up, your gonna screw urself later in the day, unless he has hens and they leave then. You can always go to the roost area at 11 am, stragglers are usually always around if all else fails.

Heck Roy you gave all the best answers! I would scald his butt with about a minute of cutting and yelping and then shut up. Maybe throw in a kee kee sequence if that didnt work...Jake yelp into a half gobbler if that didnt work......Change your the sound of your calling(different call all together) if that didnt work.......Oh does this old boy have hens?

He might have hens. U dont know. U dont hear any hen talk, all u know is he is out 100 yards and he wont come any closer.
