So just wondering has anyone tried it? I know it's great in the fall but how about in the spring. Bubba

Yes and yes!

The Kee Kee is just more turkey communication. Typically, "I am here, where are you", sometimes called a lost call. It is real good sometimes at getting hens and younger birds talking or looking for each other (you). It is a social communication from turkeys behaving normally. Used hunting in the fall after a scatter usually but turkeys use it year round. Bottom line there is nothing in a reasonably decent Kee Kee call to hurt you. Try it.

Turkeys make kee kee runs in the spring just like gobblers gobble in the fall.  You just hear one more in the fall and the other more in the spring but it's still part of their vocabulary.

Good post! Dr. Lovett said it can be good to add some clucks before and after to give more of that looking for another turkey feel.

Been using kee-kees forever in the spring. Everything from calling to hens to starting up Gobblers that wouldn't respond to anything else. Wingbones, trumpets and cane yelpers seem to be particularly effective.
