A gobbler that answers you knows exactly where you are,and when he decides to come,usually he will come in drumming,and in half strut taking a step..looking around..go back in half strut...break strut look around.You get the idea.He will generally just pop up.Or he may get to the general area,and gobble a searching gobble,as if to say where are you I know you were here a little while a go.
This is what I have heard from the Toms.
Except no gobbles.
You have described how they were last year.
This year I haven't heard any drumming.
On opening day I found out from people that a lot of turkeys
Were seen crossing the road going from the
Public land heading to privite land.
I don't know if it was I or the other 4 hunters or the
Game warden checking lic's or all the above that drove them away.
I think I will rest up a few days and let them get settled down.
And return a lot quieter and slower.
And use softer and less calling.
Thanks for all the tips.
There's a push button friction call made for just this reason. It has 2 buttons/strikers and can be operated to produce fighting purrs.
Whats it called ?
And where can you get one ?
Not sure if I would get one.
But it would sure be nice to know where and what it is called.
