Title: Injured Rabbit Sounds as locator call
Post by: Penguin907 on March 10, 2025, 11:24:24 AM
Anyone used injured rabbit sounds as locator calls? Normally I use it for coyote. Not sure if the high pitched noise would be good for triggering shock gobbles or if the injured animal sound would spook the birds.

Think this through. Do you want predators coming and chasing your turkey away? I don't use anything predator related. Owl, crow, woodpecker, all work just fine. Goose and duck calls can be good so would a rooster sound. I still say the very best is thunder. If someone was able to harness that sound in a call they'd trump all others.

Young man I knew kept a rubber mallet in his truck.  he would pull up to culverts with the beam guardrails and thump them a couple times.   About as close as you can get to thunder.
