LEARNING TO TURKEY HUNT / Re: Do hens make a lot of soun...

Most of the time, if you hear a hen really yelping like most hunters do, she is out of sorts about something. Maybe she got separated from the rest of the flock, or maybe she was spooked an bit earlier by a coyote or something, or she could just be agitated by that aggressive hen in camouflage on the next ridge.

Totally agree. But...as a tool in hunting turkeys, the use of loud, aggressive calling, even when it does not seem "natural", has its place. Used in the right circumstances, sometimes being that loud, aggressive, camouflaged hen on the next ridge gets that agitated response one needs...which lets that "camouflaged hen" know there is likely a gobbler over there with her.   

True That! You appear to know those limited times when that is needed. Where I hunt, it appears that many of the hunters think that is 24 hours a day seven days a week. I have wondered at times if folks were amplifying their calling with some electronic device or something. I'm being a bit facetious to say that, but many of the public guys today must think that the gobblers are nearly deaf or something of the sorts.

I had  to chuckle after reading the last few post. I can remember arguments about whether birds become call shy or not. They definitely pick up on it after a few bad experiences. At least that is my opinion. I think they become shy to mouth calls quicker then any other call type. Most are too far on the musical tone side. I been scoffed at before, but I am dug in on this belief. That's why changing up calls on high pressured birds is a good strategy or example of woodsmanship. Doing what it takes to get birds in. Trumpets seem to work better late in the season, and I think that's because so few use them. I carry all mouth calls and maybe one slate until mid season and then I get out the friction calls and a trumpet.
