Way to many varibles to state exactly, how close you can get to set up on a gobbler....
First thing, I always want to know, is where are the hens....
Calling to a roosted gobbler more then once in close (less then 100 Yds.) is a no no from what experience has taught me....Calling may make him stay in the tree longer, waiting for that close hen to come to him...The longer, he's in the tree, the more time other hens have to come to the roosting area....Live hens with the gobbler sure puts a huge damper on being able to call them to your position...
Type of terrain plays a huge role in the set up spot..If he's roosted on a mountain side vs a flat changes my set up....How much foilage tells allot of how and where I'm going to call from....
Pressure on the birds changes the way, they react to calling. So does the time of the season and what phase of mating, they are in....
Scouting AFTER the gobblers have settled into their home ranges will be your best bet to learn the who, what, why, when, and where.....
Be patient and set up as close as the situation will allow you...As in anything, experience
& failures will teach you allot...
