how often you call depends on the mood of the gobbler. you will learn how to judge this with experience. if you get a gobber to answer your call, keep up the calling to see if he answers back. Sometimes a bird may answer once and be on his way. Patience is very important. IT's very tempting in turkey hunting to get up and move if its been 15-20 minutes since you heard a gobble, so you get up and a quiet bird flies off. my best advice to you is to do some scouting before season. find where the turkeys roost and sit somewhere where you can watch and hear them when they flydown. Listen to the hens and see how the gobbler responds. My best advice in turkey hunting is that you have to try to immitate a hen, not try and be the loudest most excited hen in the woods. Hope this helps. Good luck.
