From going on 5 hunts with Alex that ended in three birds dead two of them right off the roost I would say its two fold. In the unedited version you can see how Alex works him up. Starts out slow and turns the heat up as the Tom gets more worked up. He shuts up sometimes and makes the bird gobble once or twice on his own then gives him what he's looking for, some more cuts and yelps. The other part is the hen. If she opens her mouth he goes after her. Gets her pissed off. Two things will happen at fly down. 1. She's the boss Hen and will come directly to us to whipp Alexs ass with the tom in tow. Or 2. She is a subordinate hen and will shut up.. If she shuts up it allows Alex to work the Tom and get him more and more excited.. This hen shut up and despite being roosted together, when the Tom pitched to us she pitched the other way not wanting any of that hen.

Makes perfect sense...

Alex is working on taking the whole 17 min of calling and putting it in a video.. We will have to split it in to two parts for youtube.. But there is the possibility we could take the audio and make an MP3 out of it..
