There are few things more frustrating in turkey hunting than dealing with a henned up gobbler. Given the basic law of the woods, when a gobbler has his harem at his side there is zero need for him to step away to come investigate that lone hen that is yelping at him from somewhere off in the distance. It seems like not matter how good the calling, or number of decoys you have out, it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
Dealing with a henned up gobbler can truly make you question your commitment to turkey hunting as frustrations continue to build throughout the day’s hunt, however, this obstacle can be overcome with a little savvy and patience.
Turkeys can be very simple animals. During the spring months, they have three things on their mind, find a reliable food source, breeding/nesting, and roosting. As hunters, we tend to be our own worst enemies when it comes to dealing with tough situations and in many cases, we may overthink our strategy when things don’t go exactly as we planned right off the roost. This can create a sense of urgency which can cause us to become careless and make mistakes. The following are few simple turkey hunting tips that can help you be successful the next time you find yourself up against a henned up gobbler.
