Default RE: Calling sequence

Of my 25 plus years of hunting turkeys and watching many,many hens I have to say that I have heard hens yelp 6 to 8 times very softly the most with a few soft clucks being the second most vocalization. I would agree that pressured birds can and will become call and decoy shy over a period of time. If setting up on roosted birds, a yelp is going to get their attention quicker and then if a tom has closed the distance then purrs are certainly a good sound to make. I also agree that many hunters make the mistake of yelping way to much and too loud when birds are just out of range. I will error on the side of caution by calling less than calling too much but if a person can yelp and cluck well on any call he should be sucessful more times than not.
