In terms of realism, Mark in person, is as real as it gets on a yelper. I'm not talking about a string of 6 or 7 semi raspy, one note monotone yelps, with a half  hiccup thrown in either. Inflection = realism

This post makes me want to go back to my old home place in Eastern Ky. Spent many a day chasing squirrels in those hills. We always made squirrel, gravy and biscuits.

Quote from: redwad on December 31, 2025, 10:35:49 AMI practice my calls year round. Not daily but several times a week. After deer season I ramp it up though. This year I want to listen to a lot more hen talk. Where do you guys find audio to listen to.
You will find some real hen calls on youtube, but, not to sound corny but the best sounds you can learn from are from the real hens themselves. If you hunt in the fall you will ear every sounds that hen and gobblers make, from gobbles, to gobbler's yelp, to kee-kee, yelps, purrs... And in the spring, from my experience, honestly hens don't talk that much... They do a little bit of tree talk, and in my area they do more a contact cluck or bubble cluck, but once they hit the ground, they usually go pretty quiet...

I actually do not practice at all. I only pick them up when I start my scouting and I run them a little.. But it usually takes about 2-3 tries before the sound they make is good enough for me...
