RE: How do you read a gobbler...
Bob, the main thing I'm concerned about is where the turkey is roosted in relation to creeks, thickets, fences, etc. I for sure,
don't want to set up where the gobbler will hang up on me
because of a barrier of some type. that's why it's so important
to know the terrain your huntin. then I want to get as close as possible to him, 100yds or closer. and call to him according to how he gobbles when he hits the ground. I don't call to him when he's on the roost, except a few soft yelps to let him know where I'm at.\it's after he's on the ground that i really start to read the turkey.
I call to him according to his mood after he hits the ground.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
