Locator calls... Do they help or hurt.

:TooFunny:that I can remember I haven't asked a hunting related question on any board, I just Express my opinion. an opinion that most disagree with I might add. Several friends have asked me to write a book on hunting public ground turkeys in the Appalachian mountains. Someday when I'm bound to the rocking chair and memories are all I have left I may do just that. For now I just want to kill my turkeys and help a few friends kill thiers.

Can I be your friend???

I rarely ever use them. I like to let them gobble on their on. A coyote call will usually get more results where I hunt. Best shock call I have witnessed was thunder.

Won't go to the woods without one. PERIOD!

Where I currently live, the tracts of land I can hunt are smaller than average and definitely not what I'm used to. You can hear everything on these farms and blundering aimlessly to a location in the dark is going to mess you up real fast. It's best, in these situations, to locate the bird first. Once I know where he's at, I then know where he's going. Just gotta get between me and that location. Once I've done that, calling is merely a matter of getting him to commit my way just a bit before he decides to cross over to the neighbors plot. And, often times, it lets me know if I'm wasting my time there and need to drive to the next location to try again. Obviously, ymmv.

Personally, I find them quite helpful. I can pretty well pinpoint where the hunter is "located", that is using them. I just politely move off to another area.
  ( hush ), Sir, your post is absolutely  hilarious.  I need a little humor every now and then.
