Title: Any Advice?
Post by: guesswho on March 14, 2011, 08:07:44 PM
Well I've been practicing with my mouth call, even though I never did figure out how to use my diaphram.   At least it sounds like its in the bird family now.  My season opens in the morning.  Any last minute advice?   What if I hear one?

No matter how he reacts, do not call more than once every 15-20 minutes.. His curiosity will kill him

What if he's all out of curiosity?   Keep your cell phone on tomorrow, I may need to call you.

Surely you have a scratch box, box call, slate or something that will make a cluck or yelp. Learn to cut , cluck and yelp softly on a scratch box and you can do very well.

On the first day of the season he will surely not think its a hunter making the calls.. Thus he will be anxious to get to the sounds.. Dont call too much or he may think its a trap as hens never call much..

I will have my phone around tomorrow call if you get perplexed.

Give that bird a pass for the day and find another one to work on and kill him instead.  That same bird that wouldn't come in today might be more curious tomorrow.

when you get to your location and it is just about time for the magic to start. haul off and slam your truck door as hard as possible. that really gets them birds fired up  :icon_thumright:

Put your tongue on a 9volt battery just before you leave the truck.  It helps with the purrs!

I knew I could count on ya'll for support.  I just need to stop at my 24 hour Wal-Mart in the morning and get me one of those Squealing hen calls if their not sold out and a 9 volt battery.   I already stutter a little bit when I talk, I hope that battery on the tongue thing don't make it worse.

Call a lot with multiple calls. Make those Gobblers think there is a whole flock of Hens waiting. Run around in a 50 yard area calling many times to reinforce the large group scenario. Then sprint 50 yards away from where you think the Gobblers are and hit a Gobbler call as you advance towards where you were making your Hen sounds. Dem Toms will bust tail to get there before the bad boy they think you are. Works every time for me if I can keep from barfing up breakfast after running around that much, and scare them away.

Don't forget to load your gun and shoot straight if any opportunity presents itself.  I have a gut feeling you'll do just fine.   ;D


Good luck!

Just call Shootum and put him on speaker phone. Surely the Game Warden wont call that electronic calling and give you a ticket. I might have to try that 9 volt trick with my son. Surely I can convince him to try it.

Bud, you'll do just fine. If that goofball, no turkey calling, Gary Lavox from Rascal Flatts can call in a turkey.......you got it whooped.

Gary sure has killed plenty of turkeys over the years to have such a lack of ability. I think the guy is a top notch caller myself.
