help for a first time longbeard chaser

[Jack]

Sounds like you're doing pretty well....
I strongly agree with Nulle- most people call too much, IMO. It's awful hard not to reply every time he gobbles, when he's answering right back, but, once he knows where you are, and thinks you're a hen that's ready to go, you'd probably be best to cut way down on your calls, or go quiet. Get him curious, he may come and investigate.
Also, the more you call, the more precisely he locates you. If you call so much he knows the calls are coming from the base of one particular tree, he's gonna expect to see a hen there- and maybe break off if he doesn't.
If he thinks a hen's in the area, but not sure exactly where, he's gonna come in and search around- giving you more shot opportunities.
That's my theory, anyway. It's free, and worth just what ya paid for it.
