LEARNING TO TURKEY HUNT / Re: Types of Gobbles

Last post by GobbleNut - February 19, 2026, 08:25:25 PM

For me, the only useful distinction other than judging excitement levels is being able to tell a Jake gobble from a longbeard gobble.
I learned this by listening carefully and making observations in my hunting areas and by time spent in the field hunting.
I think it's important to learn this distinction

Good point. Unfortunately, there are plenty of jakes that can sound like mature gobblers and will get a guy all excited...until they show up. 
On the other hand, there are definitely jakes out there that sound like jakes...and if you are looking for a mature bird, being able to recognize those "clearly-a-jake" gobbles can save a guy a lot of time in moving along to the next bird.
...But then again, there is also that doubt that sets in where I hear what sounds like a jake gobble but I am thinking "What if that is a big 'ol longbeard that just sounds like a jake? I better wait 'til he gets here just to make sure".

1. What is the thickness of the latex or is it rubber?
2. How wide is the top of the bar reed stretches over ?
Thanks for any help.  This may be a long shot

This is another subject where I would just have to make a list and pull a name out of a hat. There are a number of guys right here on OG (a few of which I have already had the privilege of sharing a hunting camp with) whose names would be in that hat...and quite honestly, I would rather hunt with many of you guys than any of the well-known, celebrity-types, past or present, any day of the week.

In my 20, the Apex out shot the Federal by a substantial margin.  Better, more even pattern as well as much higher numbers in the 10". 
Those are the only two TSS I've patterned.

I'd like to see Lamar Williams or Darrin Dawkins call one up. My two favorite call makers.
