Best Turkey Mouth Calling Tactics
I just interviewed a national competition turkey caller and recorded his best turkey calling vocalizations with diaphram calls. Very in depth when it comes to actually showing you how the pros do it. Let me know if you're interested in previewing it when it's done!
Thanks!!!!!

There’s more turkeys shot, just using basic yelps.
Then as you get, better, you can go on to more calls.
A basic yelp and scratching the leaves, with a purr now and then.
Will tell, the Tom, that she is content, and if he wants love, he has to come courting.
Then he gets mad, and comes looking for the hard to get girlfriend.
So just basic calls, will do.
And remember, even real turkeys don't sound like real turkeys some times.
I remember one time, I heard, a gobble, and I thought, thats the most terrible sounding person.
Then it turned out to be a real, turkey.
So you don't have to be perfect, just persistent.
Remember, you can't get a tom, sitting, in your living room, clicking the remote.

Agree with JRBSR. There is no doubt you DO NOT have to be a perfect caller to kill turkeys on a regular basis. I've only been hunting them for 5 years and have killed 4 birds (3 of the 4 times had someone calling with me; which helps)...and I am not even close to the perfect caller. Personally, I am always looking for a few extra tricks up my sleeve when it comes to making the hunt a success (especially when that gobbler is hung up about 50-60 yards away). I've probably had that happen at least half-a-dozen times by the way.
While videoing this competition caller, who is also an expert turkey hunter, he taught me some turkey vocalizations that I have never heard of; some of them I have, just never understood how to make the call and when. For those of us who are working stiffs with young kids and have not spent the last 20 years studying turkeys and how they call and why, this information would be well taken.

Thanks!
