All this is why I like the fall season, you here more hen talk in one good morning then 10 spring seasons. Yes, most of it is softer and lower volume

Look at the un insulated Chene gear rubber boots. I used to wear grange and they'd be worn out 3/4 way through the season. I've had my Chene gear ones for two years now and I wear them fishing, turkey hunting, coyote hunting, rabbit hunting, and deer hunting. I've put a lot of miles on them and probably would have had 3 or 4 more years in them if I didn't drive a nail right through the bottom of them the other day walking the farm.

DeadBirdWalking.com.    The AT1 is a great call and for 50.00 it is a great price to get one and learn on.    These calls sound great and will not break the bank.   Just a warning.   Once you learn how to play this trumpet, you will be buying a custom one from someone.

Great deal here. Have several 200+ dollar trumpets but they're wooden and I don't have the daredevil in me to take them out in the rain. Just picked one of these up for 57$ and some change shipped to KY.

Turkeys make communication vocalizations almost constantly, you just have to be very close to hear them. Most of the time, they won't get any louder than they have to. YOU, as the outside turkey, have a different motive. You can't walk over and join the flock (like a turkey would). YOU have ulterior motives, lol.

Your right. Small constant purrs with little peep and such.

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.

This...

Sometimes on social media I will see a video of a hen yelping like crazy and the one who post the video will go like : learn from this, a real hen yelping...

But that's false, that's a disturbed hen making all sorts of noise because she is disturbed. It's nothing like what a real hen would do to attract the attention of a male... My 2 cents...

Thanks folks.  I've been into cane yelpers lately so I had to ask.  Saw where he presented one to Moye Howard at Unicoi which made me wantsy.

That was given to me in 2012.

Oh wow!  Didn't catch that!  Anyway, that photo was what prompted me to look into Mark's yelpers.
