Strangest thing you have heard a tom gobble at?

A jackass braying in a nearby pasture.

This wasn't a one time thing, it happened almost every morning that I hunted that property.

If the jack brayed, the turkey gobbled and vice versa, if the turkey gobbled, the jack would bray. It was like they were saying good morning to each other.

I've heard them at work gobble when the trash man emptied the dumpster, every time he slammed the can, the turkeys would gobble.

Years ago when I was working nights in the strip mines loading coal I had a little time between trucks so I drove down to the end of the pit. It was turkey season about 4:30- 5:00 AM so I shut the loader off to listen and the big shovel blew it's horn to move up and a gobbler sounded off.

Haha I've never noticed a donkey braying at a turkey, but they'll make the birds gobble sometimes around here. I always stop and listen when I hear a donkey. One morning this year they were gobbling on the roost at a really loud donkey and a rooster crowing.

Guy down the road from where I hunt always has Bantam chickens, (Always thought they were called banny chickens til I went to check my spelling for this) for some reason one year he got some Road Island Red chickens instead, the turkey would never sound off at the Bantam chickens crowing but he sure did that one year the guy had Road Island Reds. Must have been change in the pitch of the crow I guess.

Also closing the heavy gate door at the end of the driveway to get in/out if shut hard.

Everything already stated here and a couple more. Located a Tom shock gobbling at a dump trucks gate banging from nearby road work. Called him up and promptly missed him. Have had a roosted tom gobble at a loud fart before. Didn't get him either.

Just happened last Thursday.   I took my 5 yr old son Rett hunting with me for the first time.   We got on a gobbler on the roost and got in really tight.  I told Rett he had to be super quiet and super still as I could see the bird on the limb.  I guess for a 5 yr old that's no easy feat.  The bird stayed on the limb a little longer than normal and Rett was starting to fidget.  I reassured him the bird was close and pleaded him not to move or talk above a whisper.   The bird pitched down, landed at 40 yds and I shot him at 18 yds about 30 seconds later.  One of my fastest hunts ever, but for Rett it had taken an eternity.    As soon as the gun roared, Rett was ready to talk, he was pumped up and turned in to a little blabber box.   As we were walking out and maybe half way back to the truck Rett was still talking and as he said something loudly in his high pitched 5 yr old voice a bird thundered on a bench 150 yds below us.  Rett's eyes got big and he grinned ear to ear.

Hunting in Virginia once and was hearing some hammering at a nearby house. I kept thinking I heard gobbling when I heard the hammering.
Started working my way closer and sure enough every time they hammered he gobbled. I got about 125 yards from him and proceeded to call him right in and shoot him at 25 yards.
