Well the last 9 days of the season are upon us here in Alabama. The woods have fallen silent. I've been tracking a couple birds but they haven't been responding. What do you change up last week of season? What have you found to work?
Always wondering wether or not to give a cluck

Birds were far more quiet yesterday for us...  Heard a couple gobbles, but no hens.

I picked locations of previously known high traffic and did some subtle calling.  Subtle clucks and contented yelps and purrs on a scratch box...  Had a pair come in quiet in the morning (which were not shot at)...

Same tactics later in a different location and we did get a gobble or two, but the birds came in quiet again.

Also while moving later in the morning, I will do some gobbling before getting to or setting up in my spot...  I believe that hearing a different bird gobble, often helps to get things started.
Did I do that?

Fly fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.
