Anyone else out there do it? I have met a lot of guys who can get a cluck or a muffled yelp; but does anyone on here use it as their go to call? Been workin on it for about six years now and the only thing I cant at least pass for realistic is really loud cutting and fly down cackle.... Anyone else?
I talk to my turkeys every day with my natural voice. I've used it a few times in the field but I'm not very loud with it.
TRKYHTR
i have a buddy who can do awesome yelps with his voice.
I used my natural voice for 16 years, only manufactured call I ever carried with me over that time was a boat paddle call that I would use to try to strike up a bird later in the day. After my accident that changed, a fall from a treestand left me paralyzed and also left me with about 1/3 of my normal breath capacity and unable to make voice calls. Had to start all over and learn how to use a call.
Greatest compliment I ever got on my natural calling ability was after I made few "voice calls" for a fellow and he said "Man, that's like huntin' over bait."
Not my go to call. But for distance calling I use my voice.
You need the right cadence.
It usually starts out on a box call, then followed by "here turkey turkey".
Then depending on the bird it repeats itself. Sometimes I need to change it up and go to my "come here you **** bird" followed by another sequence of box yelps.
It works alot ;D
I have a friend who can do some killer calls with his own voice (sounds very realistic), when he does them he subcontously holds his hands out like he's use'n a slate call, its hilarious he dont even realize he go'n thru the motions.
I have a friend in NE that voice calls turkeys and is successful at it. I didn't think the calls sounded that good but the turkeys did!
Ive called in alot of turkeys with my voice been doin it since I was 12 I yelp and purr mostly but Im workin on the other sounds. Drive the guys at work crazy
