Just wondering what some of your prefered calling styles are?

Do you call soft and sweet or loud and agressive and under what kind of conditions?

That is going to be different alot of times. You just have to play it by ear and choose the type of calling that the turkeys are responding to that day.

I prefer effective ones.

You have to play that by ear like trophy said . But if the birds are hot I call a little aggressive try and get a good show out of them , and at the closing of season I try and keep it simple and call as little as possible

just depends.......

soft and sweet (purrs and a few clucks here and there)...if nothing, then get aggressive, but i never try to call too much..just use my call so they know where i am.

Exactly. I like to use the term, taking the birds temperature and giving the bird what he/ or she wants to hear. (in case I'm calling a dominant hen to lure the tom) Sometimes that is soft and seductive and other times it's loud and obnoxious.

FYI, I do love to fire them up however, sometimes it's not the right thing to do.

I generally try to be somewhat conservative with my calling unless I have a Tom tearing up every note I make. You can usually "read" the bird and decide quickly how and what the bird wants to work to. I have found that generally less is more. Considering that the majority of my bird hunting is with my bow I'm usually sitting in a well selected ambush and this allows or forces me more time to be patient then the standard run and gun tactics of most hunters.

My calling style change's as the breeding season changes , I'll start off soft and sweet but as the season comes to an end I'll get more agressive.
Most of the time I'll start calling and once I get a response from a tom , I'll contiue with that same call in other words give the tom what he wants to hear.

WOW! What a Love story!RD, you had me teary eyed....
