best gobbler yelper mouth calls

[Ky strutt n bust n]

what is yall's best opinion on a mouth call that is strictly gobbler yelps and clucks. its the last full week of season here in kentucky and i can easily make gobbler yelps on my slate and friction calls, but do not have a mouth call that produces goobler calls. any suggestion fast would be great. i know that late in the season sometimes the only thing that will call a old gobbler in is another gobbler calling. thanks!

We use a tube call such as a K&H Widow Maker.  As for your other question about that WMA we discussed.  I just looked at the TVA site.  Kentucky Lake is higher than I've seen, or ever heard of (372).  All that WMA will be under water so there will be zero nesting success this spring.  Send me a PM in a month or so when things get back to normal up there.  I'll point you towards a couple of spots you can check out for deer season.  Telecheck for Marshall County did show a couple of birds checked in from the  KL WMA.  Probably several that showed "private land" were from there also.  As I said most of the abutting landowners consider it their private spot.  That's why you need a boat.   Good luck this last week.

well i appreciate the big help. always fun to try something new out but like i posted in the other post def not out to get secret spots or secrets on anything but just getting a general idea. thanks a lot. i was up in LbL this past weekend and man the tornado damage has lots of roads closed and the lake flooding has got many roads closed and both lakes are up extremely high. i could not believe what we was seeing while up there. heck just when we thought we was in a good spot, because we came up on where tornado had came through knocking trees over the road and no one else parked there, and i knew there was a creek you had to cross about a mile down the road that is a run off from barkley would be flooded, but we walked prolly 1/2 miles down the gravel road because we heard a gobbler sounding off at everything, and sure enough he was roosted way back in the woods above several feet of water. turkeys are loving the security of it

They made it through the big ice storm of a few years back.  They'll make it through the flooding also.  They love those high ridges anyway.  I just read an e mail from a hunting buddy that also hunted LBL on the last weekend. He had a big gobbler bust him when he tried to move his gun at the last second.  Oh well.  He said they were doing a lot of talking.  I was with him for his first turkey kill back before I moved (2003).  He took an LBL bird on the last Saturday of that season.  It was another cloudy rainy day and we just walked the North/South Trail blowing a hawk call.  Three gobblers eventually hammered at it and one came home with us.

them lbl turkeys are so hard dudes to hunt. we have had great sucess hunting up there. thats where i grew up hunting at. this past weekend when me and my dad were hunting up there he said to me these birds will make you the educated turkey hunter you need to be. they're so smart and by hunting them it teaches you all the tricks in the book. which he is right, been hunting lbl with a gun in hand for 10 years and have several spots to choose from, but yet only i've killed one bird up there. my first longbeard when i was in sixth grade, and biggest beard and spurs i've yet to kill to this day. for some reason i love hunting high pressured birds.
