If your out in the woods just before light you can use a hooter call (owl). That usually will get them to shock gobble from the roost.. Lots of different noises can get a shock gobble out of them. I've heard them light off at coyotes, crows, peacocks, yarder whistles, etc. You should be able to get them talking with a slate if your in an area w/ birds though.. There hot birds out there right now, you just have to get on them in the morning before they hen up. You never no where a lonely Tom will pop up.. There are some good areas where your headed. They have been pressured pretty hard, but I've gotten birds that were shot at in the early morning to gobble and come in later in the day.. Good luck and go gettem.. PM me if you need anymore help..
