If he gobbles at your calls he's interested

If he doesn't gobble at your calls he's not interested.
I might have heard a pity gobble or two in the past

Some turkeys are unkillable. 
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

If it's raining in the morning a gobbler will stay on the roost and ignore your calls.

the first day you don't hear any gobbles someone always says they are done breeding and its all over

In general I think people give the birds too much credit they they aren't evil geniuses out masterminding us in an elaborate game of chess.

If a turkey is gobbling mid day he is an easy kill. Maybe... Maybe not

These are great! I concur with most of them (fence, downhill, water) as I’ve seen em too.

I want to test the backwards hat trick haha.

On the unkillable topic - that could be a fun thread - the birds you just couldn’t kill (or had a hard time). Thoughts?
