hey,

just got back from greenridge state forest in Western MD. I woke up early before dawn and blew some owl calls and then some crows after light. but, i am wandering....

1. do onlytoms respond to locater calls?
2. when a turkey does repond, is it always, and only, in the form of a straight "gobble". i did hear some gobbling for sure...but i also heard what sounded like drumming. im not sure if this was a turkey, but i couldnt think of what else it could be. i heard alot of it too. it sounded just like a drum, ora damn woodpecker bangin on a tree...if turkeys only respond by the everyknown "Gobbleeeee", then it wasnt a turkey....but is there any other sound they could make to respond to my locater? i was frustrating myself to death trying to determine if it was one or not....not having alot of experience in the turkey woods - i thought i should get the heads up
3. ok....i have marked about 3 spots on my map where i was sure it was a gobbler. i marked the point on the road that iheard it and i also marked which direction it came from...now what do i do? this cant be the end of my scouting....i mean i heard what direction they came from, but i probably wasnt even that close to them...im just having a hard time pinpointing where they go....and if they were in one are today, does that mean they will be in the general area next week, and the following (opening day). any help is appreciated, it makes me mad that i take the time and go a few hours up and back, and when i get there i cant even tell if its a darn turkey...lol....but thats life....thanks for any help...
