I have had no luck with getting a Tom with the bow yet, but I am still grinding it out. I have learned one thing this year though. I am burning my strutting jake decoy. Last night was the 3rd time I had a tom hang up out of range and not wanting to challenge the jake. I understand this earlier in the season, but by now I would think with hens nesting that competition for hens would be a higher priority than getting your butt kicked.
I had 2 hen decoys and a strutting jake decoy in the small plot about 20 yards from me. After about 20 minutes of me calling every 10 minutes a hen answers. I thought to myself, call her in and the tom will follow, so I did. She was all by herself and came right into the hen decoys and proceeded to call for 10 minutes. I looked at my watch, so it felt like an hour but was actually 10 minutes. She was calling very loud and often and all of a sudden from across the 60 acre field next door I hear a gobble. She called a few more times and he was coming. He came all the way across and to about 40 yards, then hung up when he saw my strutter jake decoy. Again, I had looked at my watch so I know how long all of this lasted. For over an hour he stayed 40 yards out strutting while she walked around me and the decoys. He would never come any closer even though twice the hen got within 10 yards of my stand and dropped to her belly in the breeding position. He just stayed there and strutted. Finally the hen got bored and walked off. The tom stayed there about 10 more minutes and strutted but still would not come closer. I had no way of getting a shot thru the trees with the bow. He also got bored and headed back the way he came. Needless to say I am done with the strutting jake decoy.
