General Forum / Re: Practicing your calling?

Quote from: GobbleNut on February 07, 2026, 11:28:10 AMI suppose my point is that, in my opinion, focusing on trying to get a very specific, perfect sound out of a call is nowhere near as important as making the right sound...even if it is not "perfect"...at the right time when dealing with a real, live gobbler.

I'm pretty curious about what you just said. I'll pay attention this spring to see if it can make a difference... I'm curious to see if one can really "speak" gobblers.

Sorry to again get a little bit off the subject...but sometimes things need to be said...

The above statement is true...but anybody that has listened to very many hen turkeys should be aware by now that, just like us humans, turkey voices vary a LOT. The consensus in the turkey hunting world seems to be that you should try to produce that "box call yelp" that so many contest judges want to hear. Gobblers in the woods are generally not nearly as particular about whether that hen they hear sounds like that or not.

At times, however, they can be very particular about what that hen they hear is saying to them...no matter what voice that hen is saying it in. In summary, you can practice your calling until you are "blue in the face"...but if you get out in the woods and say the wrong thing, even with that perfect "box call yelp" that those contest judges love, that gobbler you are calling to ain't necessarily gonna buy it!

You're absolutely right. Matter of fact, the last calls I've heard from turkeys were some immature birds who were yelping and it was interesting to hear them with their voice unsure, almost like a teenage who's voice is breaking.

16, 28 , and .410 Turkey Gun Forum / Thompson Center 28 gauge

Last post by TScottW99 - February 07, 2026, 08:55:43 PM

I've been harassing Thompson Center on the socials about bringing out a 28 gauge G2 or Encore barrel. I told them, yet again, today that a 24" barrel in 28 gauge would be the perfect spring gobbler barrel. They responded that one will be coming

here's hoping that's true.
