RE: Drumming
 

Lol Vance!!How true!!BT got ya covered bud!!!;)I truly believe here fellas the key is tuning your ears to hear it!Most fellas I hunt with listen mainly for one thing in the turkey woods during spring and obviously thats the gobble but when I take to the woods especially before things start happening that low drum is what I'm listening for.I'll tell ya somethin else too I have killed some boss gobblers primarily do to there strutting sounds.Gobblers with a harem of hens undisturbed can literally stay in strut when there not breeding all day!And in doing so are emitting those strutting sounds.I've always felt one of the coolest moments I've ever had afield was watching 5 longbeards in the same tree in full strut on there own perespective limbs!It was one spit-n-drum right after another!!:)

I do hear it as well while in the woods. Depends on how close you are to the bird, because it's a low quiet type of call.;)

RE: Drumming
 

I have heard the drumming from good distances but I dont believe that it was 75 yrds. There is one particular spot that I like to hunt here in Idaho that is a long way back in. I will go in the night before and sleep in my bag along a log on the ground. In the early morning hours before sun up. I can here the birds drumming on the small ridge in front of me at about 50 yards.. What a way to start the day. My goal every year is to shoot one from my sleeping bag. That drumming is what really gets me going because I know that he is almost within range.
