The only success I've had with the gobble call is by locating them. IT works good for a shock gobble, but I haven't actually called one in with it.

BB Great story, and even more important a better point you made in describing how dominant an old longbeard can actually be.There are a lot more than just a couple of reasons the woods tend to be quiet even though we know we are in prime turkey country.Weather, huntin pressure,# of birds in your area,all have an impact on gobbling activity, and yes as you pointed out a dominant gobbler will do anything he can to keep breeding activity down to a minimume in his area unless done by him.With that in mind I believe a gobbler call, weather we gobble or call to imitate a tom yelping or clucking are under used.Most guys I know when the woods are quiet grab a hen call or some other locater to try and spark up a gobble.If you know a boss gobbler is using a particular area than you should try using a gobbler call when things are quiet.I've had a gobble tube on more than one occasion seal the deal,so my Red Wolfe is always in my fanny pack.

don'y really like to use the gobble during season, but it's been a real asset filming before season. Sometimes when a gobbler hangs up I'll gobble at him just enough to get the reaction from him them shut up. 2 out of three times if he is a longbeard and lonely, he'll be in site before long.
