I consider myself a fairly good turkey hunter, above average even. Keep in mind I said turkey, let me clarify.
I have the patience, know-how, and call technique down pat, (well pretty good). Not tooting my own horn but I have some experience. My girlfriend's dad always seem to get a couple gobblers each fall. That is his specialty. He calls nothing but gobblers in. I call a gobbler (TOM) in on occasion but it is not a guaranteed thing. I guess I could say hens and jakes are my specialty.
That brings me to my question. What are the best techniques for calling in only mature gobblers? I use a slate call and call sparingly, not alot at all. I do a few clucks and throw in a purr w/ them. I wonder if its the tone of my slate? What do you guys think? Any suggestions?
Remember this is fall hunting only.
