That's how I used to locate birds in the preseason while hunting a chunk of the club back home. From the top of the mountain you could hear for quite a ways. The birds would gobble as the jake brakes would sound off in the bottom. The terrain was quite steep though and I'm not talking about a little steep. Billy goat steep. It was bad enough that some die hard turkey hunters would think twice about it. I was not that die hard at the time and by so mes standards, may never be.
Got out of the truck at my buddies camp one evening and tried a crow call, owl hoot and turkey yelps thing to get a bird to respond near the camp so we could get him the next morning. No replies so I went to unloading my stuff. Came back out and my buddy said one gobbled when he shut his door. I ran through all the stuff again and still nothing. He opened and shut his door once more. Bird gobbled. I opened and shut mine. Nothing. He repeated again and the bird replied. I told him that it was going to make the morning hunt quite rough for him because if all he was going to answer was the sound of the driver side door slamming shut, it was his door and he was responsible for carrying it to the top of the hill.
