I think its a different approach that trows a curve at the ol toms as everybody has the same calls and I believe they catch on to this - just my $.02
MOBIGBUCKS wrote:The biggest toms are always the quiet ones where I hunt. I setup in known strut zones or in an area that has 2-3 fields interconnected. I simply wait them out and have killed most of these old birds between 10 and 2 in the afternoon. Long days but worth it when your trying to arrow one. Another trick I use is the fighting purr call...It's simply deadly on mature toms. I can't tell you how many quiet toms I've had come in to this call. I've had them fly, run, and sneak in trying to figure out who is in a fight.
