Chasing turkeys is a fun, exciting hunt! See how and why hunting strategies can change through a single day! During the mornings toms are gobbling on the roost they're communicating with hens and once they hit the ground they'll often gobble until those hens come to them and then things can be pretty silent. Once that tom has hens around him it can be difficult to locate him by gobbling. He doesn't need to gobble because he has the hens right there and even if you can see that tom it can be difficult to call him within range because remember he's wanting that hen to go to him.
Putting all that together, creating a strategy for hunting the early morning - is often getting as close to the roost tree as you can so when that tom hits the ground - you're kind of right there in the mix of things as he starts calling his hands to him.
When toms are with hens it's often difficult to have them respond calling over calling can even educate the toms a better option is rather back off get in a location where you can hear or see toms once those hens break away and plan your strategy accordingly. It's important to try to cut the distance as quick as you can and go ahead and get set up before calling. If you start calling right there and you haven't considered where you're going to set up that tom could quickly close the distance to you and catch you off guard.
When listening and calling consider the wind can you hear the tom and can the tom hear you if you're upwind of a tom you're probably not calling quite as loud as if you're downwind.
