Ontelk has been trained by Adrain who is an excellent turkeyhunter in his own mind!
Oh boy that oughta get things going!
No seriously Ontelk is spot on - let the bird dictate how much he wants to be called to. This is a learned lesson as each bird is different.
And I take lots of naps as suggested - I am old - however I come full awake if I hear a gobble and I will call every 15 to 20 minutes or so.....Start softly - very soft - wait a bit and then get a bit louder.......don't get caught in a simple rythym - mix it up with soft yelps. clucks and do cutt once an a while. Sometimes "Racket Calling" will fire ole Mr. Tom up.......and do listen for gobbles..........If you can hear him - he certainly can hear you....
And like Ontelk - 85% of my turkey hunting is scouting - I wait in places I have seen Toms - find the hens nesting - a Tom is close by.....always....so I sit with the sun at my back in the shadows and become a bush......
