LEARNING TO TURKEY HUNT / Re: Types of Gobbles

Last post by Happy - February 19, 2026, 09:16:49 PM

From my observations. The timing or spacing of gobbles can be a good indicator as well as volume. Especially a gobbler on the roost. If he is gobbling at a regularly spaced intervals. He is calling hens to him and that is all he is concerned with. I had a particularly vexing gobbler i hunted years ago that would do that. He would ignore every yelp, cut, or cackle from hen or man, and just gobble about 10-12 times ever 10 seconds or so before he flew down. A gobbler with hens may give a "I am over here if you want to join us" gobble, in my observations, that gobbler sometime just doesn't have as much heart or gusto. I have also heard some pretty low volumed gobbles from highly pressured turkeys. You can also almost feel the panic in a Tom's gobbler that has just realized he doesn't have any ladies and is trying to get some more attention. Those turkeys make me smile and they are about as sure of a thing in turkey hunting as a hunter can get. That gobble and where he is located when he does it are dead giveaways as to what's going on. Thats enough info for this season. I am more of a if you want it bad enough, you'll figure it out type of guy when it comes to turkey hunting.

Past would be my Grandpa, who is the one that gave my family the love for these wild turkeys. Presently it would be my 9 year old grandson, who got to witness his first turkey kill this past spring. Afterwards he told me hunting turkeys was AWESOME! Lol

"Hi, my name is Joe. COVID gave me free time to discover turkey hunting. I almost killed a bird my first year. Got one my second year and celebrated it by smoking a cigar. Such a cool, unique idea huh? HAHA! I've since spent thousands on traveling to other states trying to get my first non-resident turkey. South Florida, the Black Hills, Montana. Those states just called to me. I really can't explain it. I think it would be really neat to kill a turkey in 49 states. We could call it a Super Slam!"

According to poster above.
