Shock Gobble--THUNDER CALLER---Is It Possible??

[West Augusta]

A loud backup alarm from a truck also works well to locate gobblers That 12 volt battery is just a slight problem to carry.

I knew an old veteran turkey killer in Missouri who at one time carried a big piece of aluminum in his rig for a locator.  It had to have worked or he wouldn't have messed with it.

didn't he call that the wobbler gobbler?

I carried a cedar train whistle with me along with a good call for years. Worked pretty well. I rarely use a shock caller any more other than an owl early in the day. Just don't want to carry them now.

Now for the goods. Probably 15 or 20 years ago I watched Uncle Ted Nugent turkey hunt on one of his shows. I believe it was in MI. Anyway, he had a big piece of sheet metal in his truck and shook it like crazy simulating thunder and got plenty of gobbles at first light. He called in a killed one of them on the show.

I carried a piece of roof tin in my truck for several seasons. Usually just used it preseason scouting but on occasion during season if they were quiet I would break it out. Got em started with it a couple times. I used a sheet that was maybe 3' x 4'. Not something you would want to carry.

I hunted with 7j outfitters a couple years ago. Kenny Morga was my guide. He used an elk bugle for a locator. I could not believe how far away gobblers answered that.
