Very interesting to find or research how they are made

At first, for me, it's was because very few in my neck of the woods could do it. At least consistently anyways. I went through the killing phase and competitive phase but thankfully that didn't last long. As the years  have passed things have changed a bit. Now, how I kill one is more important than if I kill one. I want it to be a challenge and if I am successful it's because it met some self-imposed  criteria. Not saying everyone needs to follow my rules but it's what gives me a sense of "earning"it. I would suspect that many who have hunted for years understand what I am saying. I hunt them because I love the process, the chess match, and the skills it takes to be successful. I quit caring about competition years ago and will happily let someone else pull the trigger. I just want to chase them. Putting a turkey in front of someone who hasn't had much success is a good time in and of itself. So when I kill one, I sit and relax and enjoy the bird and the surroundings for a bit. I was doing that before it was cool. Spring turkey hunting is top of my list when it comes to fun activities and I look forward to it like a kid at Christmas. I dont suspect that will ever change.

LEARNING TO TURKEY HUNT / Re: Types of Gobbles
Last post by Yoder409 - Today at 09:51:47 PM
Over the years....lots of them.... I've kinda learned to identify a few different types of gobbles.

The tree gobble

The "I just hit the ground" gobble

The courtesy gobble

The "I'm coming over there right now to die" gobble

And one that has a name I'd get banned from Old Gobbler Forums for saying

If I had you with me on a hunt, I could tell you which one and why.   To type it out here.... Not possible.

Time in the woods.  LOTS of time in the woods....  Experience is never not the best teacher.

Two would be tough to decide on what to take. For sure my Kevin Farr ship wreck cut diagram. Next would be my Olin Humphrey slate or my AGE trumpet. No way I can leave any one of these calls behind so I guess it's 3 for me.
