Default RE: locator calls

I've had some luck roosting birds... but it was just that... luck. I've never been able to hit it consistant.... nothing in life works that way except taxes will damn sure be due on April 15th.

Quite often, several situaions have to come together just right to put one to bed just right. Sometimes you can get them to gobble, but do you know EXACTLY where they are?

The best way to roost birds in my opinion is to let nature takes its course just like you did SG3. Another really great natural shock gobbler is a flock of late flying geese.

But honestly, the absolute best thing.... THUNDER! Of course, it does make it tough to hear the birds sometimes. Sirens and alarms and horns are great too. Especially on very still evenings.

I have tried the coyote howlers... they have worked for me on days when everything else worked too... but I've never had a bird gobble at one to the exclusion of everything else. Take that as you will.... because I've used them in VA, TX and MO. And sometimes they work... sometimes they don't.

I have a Primos myself..... took a little gettting used to. I don't honestly know if I sound like a yote or a dying giraffe.... sounds like a yote to me.
