i don't have tons of birds under my belt, but i will say that the birds i have gotten i have NEVER had to purr with my diaphram call......just thought i would throw that out there for the guys who are newer to the sport...it is not something i personally feel will make or break a bird...
Wow, the purr is probably the call that I used the most (or very close to it). Every turkey hunter in the woods knows how to yelp and cluck and on some public land, that sound alone can alert birds. I cluck (putt) and purr waaaaaaaay more than I do anything else. In my mind the purr is a comforting call to the birds.
