Everything that was said above and don't think you have to do all your calling early in the morning. Once hens start nesting toms will respond to calls during the middle of the day. Patience is key. When you think you don't know anyting about calling a turkey, all of a sudden one is going to come in like you're an expert. Once I was using a call that I thought sounded really good. No response, decide to try a different box call and when I struck it I thought Holy S__t, that was bad. Nor more than got the thought out and heard 2 turkeys gobble close. Waited a little bit and used the good one. Nothing. Tried the bad call and got another immediate response that was closer. After a few minutes the 2 toms came right in to 15 and 20 yds. The call they liked hadn't been used in awhile and needed some chalk but the turkeys liked it. Must have been a case of "That's a hen I've never heard in this area."
