Call During Peak Hours
Having problems calling in a gobbler early in the morning? It's hard to pry toms away from hens during breeding hours. You'll have better luck around midmorning when hens start nesting and gobblers are lonely. Around 9 a.m., start moving through cover, pausing to call at least every 200 yards. When a gobbler answers, pocket your call and try to close the distance to under 100 yards. Then use soft hen calls to draw him your way.

I have been turkey hunting for 2 years and i have used all of those techniques. I have found those techniques to be very effective by killing my 1st turkey, an 11in beard 1in and 1/4 spurs and weighed 25lbs. I will for sure use them again this year. Mark comment offensive
