The terrain I huntis steep mountains.On Saturday I herd a gobbler sound off up on the mountain behind me. It didn't sound too far off. I herd thatagobbler does not like to come down hill to a call. When I herd the first two gobbles I tried toclimb the mountain to get up hillof him. In the process I must have spook him, He did not respond to my calls when I got set up. Has anyone ever called a Turkey down hill ? I just wondered if thisis a mythand that if I stayed put I might have called him in. Thanks

I have called them down hill in the past, it is not impossible. But while it can be done, I prefer to try and get uphill of them if I can. If you think you will spook him trying to get uphill of him, then stay put and see if you can call him down hill. Good luck.

Thanks, Iwanted to know if many hunters had much luck calling a turkey down hill. I am with you I should have stayed put.
