I went to a gobbling turkey this morning and got setup fairly close to where he was strutting in a sunny spot in a gravel road. After I called to him and he started closing the distance (haven't seen him yet), I began to hear him drum, I could hear a little cluck mixed into the situation. I didn't know if it was a different turkey or not, but it was consistently right at the end of his drum. When I finally seen him, I could tell he was alone. He continued to drum and strut just out of range for probably 7-8 minutes, and every single time he drummed, he put a little soft cluck at the end. PFFT-VVVRROOOOOOMMMM-cluck. I probably heard this 50 times with the gobbler in sight. He didn't appear to be nervous or suspicious. Just a standard 2 year old eastern turkey. Anyone ever heard this before or have experience with it?
oh yeah, he came to about 35 yards and then rode home with me.
I have heard them make a popping sound at the end of drumming but not cluck. Sounded like he was popping his beak together, like a chomp. Oh, and congrats :icon_thumright:
Never heard that but I can't hear the drum anymore unless very close.
Heard and saw a jake this year say "gobble,yulp gobble yulp yulp" (jakes and toms sound more like a yulp than a yelp to me)
Maybe he had the hi cups !! Haha
Never heard that before,pretty cool you got to th

Yes sir. Spitting and drumming. Love it when they close enough for you to feel the ground shaking. Lol
