Calling cadence
 

Hey guys, can anyone recommend some instructional materials for better learning the proper cadence when calling. I'm new to this game, and my calls, both diaphragm and slate sound pretty good, I just need to work in the right rhythm now. Any ideas? Hunting show? CDs?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure what to tell ya about CD's but there is a product on the market from Primo's called ( MTAMouth Call's Made Easy ) it comes with a instructional CD.
As for the right rhythm your looking for , hen yelps are normally in a set of three ( yelp yelp yelp ) , clucks are any where from one to five depending on how excited the hen is.
Tree yelps and fly down cackles sound like ( yelp yelp chuck chuck chuck chuckchuck chuck chuck ) with the sound of wings flapping.
Cutt's vary in cadence and rhythm , they can sound like ( peck peck peck ) or ( peck peckpeckpeck peck peck )like a barnyard chicken.
Just keep practicing and you'll know what sounds good when the boss tom gobbles back at you.

I have found over the years that the best teacher for calling turkey's is turkeys. I go to the woods and listen to real turkeys in the past I have recorded them using a boom mic.. Listening to the real thing and the number of times they yelp is want I started with and will use this year on my son who will turn 8. If you can not get out a lot to do this go to www.hunterspec.com they have some cd's and dvd's that will help you.

Thank you very much RD & RJ. That alone will help. When I've been practicing, I've just been trying to get the best sound, not really working on sequence. I have the primos CD, it came with my calls, and that has helped me as well. Thanks!

Yooper,I've said this many times before.When you call,PUT FEELING IN YOUR CALL. Turkeys don't always call pretty but they do call with emotion.This is extremly important when callin high pressured birds.

I use the Spittin' Feathers CD from Knight & Hale. I use it in my truck to brush up on my calling before the season.

Kinda tough to get a real hen to stick with you as you practice around the house.Here ya go

A guy I know by the name of Brad Taylor has some awesome cds of real turkeys. Most of the top contest callers listen to his stuff to get the rythms and cadence right before they call. Cant go wrong with real turkeys teaching you.

Buy some turkey hunting CDs. Then you can enjoy the hunt and learn cadence.

The videos/tapes will give you the cadence and I'm with Rj on live turkeys being the best lesson. Over the years of hunting them you'll learn that some of the hens don't sound too good when they call. That is the fun part of hunting is learning as you go. I got into a cutting match with a hen last spring that walked by me at about 10 yards. I was digging into a slate as hard as I could and couldn't match her volume. She went to the gobbler and it was game over but man was that cool. I learned alot about cutting that day and will forever remember her call and cadence of the cuttin...
