That's a good deal for someone based on today's prices! I got mine when they first came out and it is still the best gobble call I've tried. I don't carry it much and never on public. It's easy to use, but there is a slight learning curve like a trumpet and less air is more.

What distance is that at? I think that's a great pattern that gives from for error in any direction if you're a little off or the birds head bobs

Quote from: GobbleNut on February 07, 2026, 11:28:10 AMI suppose my point is that, in my opinion, focusing on trying to get a very specific, perfect sound out of a call is nowhere near as important as making the right sound...even if it is not "perfect"...at the right time when dealing with a real, live gobbler.

I'm pretty curious about what you just said. I'll pay attention this spring to see if it can make a difference... I'm curious to see if one can really "speak" gobblers.

Quote from: YoungGobbler on January 03, 2026, 06:03:22 PM...but the best sounds you can learn from are from the real hens themselves.

Sorry to again get a little bit off the subject...but sometimes things need to be said...  :angel9:

The above statement is true...but anybody that has listened to very many hen turkeys should be aware by now that, just like us humans, turkey voices vary a LOT. The consensus in the turkey hunting world seems to be that you should try to produce that "box call yelp" that so many contest judges want to hear. Gobblers in the woods are generally not nearly as particular about whether that hen they hear sounds like that or not.

At times, however, they can be very particular about what that hen they hear is saying to them...no matter what voice that hen is saying it in. In summary, you can practice your calling until you are "blue in the face"...but if you get out in the woods and say the wrong thing, even with that perfect "box call yelp" that those contest judges love, that gobbler you are calling to ain't necessarily gonna buy it!  ;D  :toothy9:
You're absolutely right. Matter of fact, the last calls I've heard from turkeys were some immature birds who were yelping and it was interesting to hear them with their voice unsure, almost like a teenage who's voice is breaking.
