We have a winner. #42
I'm going to give up three diaphragms. My personal three favorite models. (New ones) Just post up your most frustrating senario in regards to turkey hunting.
I'll run a number generator sometime over the weekend and the corresponding post count gets the 3 calls.
Personally I'm not a fan of hush mouth gobblers.
Best of luck and thanks to all who have participated in the giveaways this year.

When another hunter clearly knows you're there and working that turkey and they come in on you anyways and spook the turkey off of you! Last time was 2 guys got between me and the bird and started blowing crow calls very loud! I'm still mad about that....

Having a big gobbler 70 yards and coming to my decoys in the field. The wind picks up to about 30 mph, and the decoy starts to spin so fast on stake that the gobbler rans off.

Most frustrating part to me is when I don't have any local gobblers to hunt. Followed closely by when I do have them and they won't gobble.

Having the one other guy who has permission to hunt the farm, who has done no scouting, drive right under the roost 10 min before flydown and park 20 yds from it, on opening day, when i've been set up for 30 minutes in the spot they've headed to every morning for a week. Then the guys hunting the property across the road come out of the woods at 7:30am because the birds on my property are gobbling and there's aren't. So they start blowing a crow call and the triple gobbling bird never makes another sound, neither do the other 2 gobblers. So the guys get in their truck and shoot a bird from the road.

I agree with a lot of the scenarios already stated, but I haven't seen anyone say anything about runners. Those old birds that gobble their hind end off and get you to come to them and then take off on a thousand acre chase, hesitating just long enough in spots for you to believe he may come to you. Then take off on the move again.
