re: Best trick for bringing in hung up birds

There's no single answer, you gotta know why he is hung up. Often times they'll fly down into a strut zone and strut until their normal girls come to them. You gotta either hope none go or you call the hens in when they do.

If they should be seeing a hen and don't, put out a hen and jake decoy or a strutter. I don't like single hens when they can see long way simple because I've had them strut and hang up waiting on the hen to close the gap. I do like single hens when visibility is limited though.

As said, I call hard until they come and then you want to shut up unless you have a jake or strutter decoy out they'll see. If they don't come in after some soft calling or shutting up for 30 minutes, then I switch it up and call hard. I've killed plenty of birds by doing what others would call over calling, and I've had tons of hens come in calling way more than I would. But usually when you call hard that means you are going to them. Many times too overcalling happens when there is a landscape hold up like a creek. So I'll sit on a creek and act like a hen stuck on the other side sometimes too.
