Quote from: THattaway on December 21, 2021, 10:11:10 AMSaw it on tv some years ago. Interesting to see how turkeys respond but he lost me the instant he applied emotions to their behavior. Ive raised plenty of turkeys from eggs and IMO they are driven by two things: food and procreation. They'll peck your eyeballs out over either.

Quote from: eggshell on December 23, 2021, 10:18:52 AMMK M GOB, my wife's uncle raised a lot of pheasants and various fowl. A farmer brought him a clutch of eggs once and he incubated them. Most were gobblers, but a few hens. He had them around his place all the time and they kind of imprinted to him. He was a black smith and well known knife maker. I used to go over and sit inn his shop and shoot the bull while he made knives. The turkey pen was just outside or he'd let them run loose. If the big overhead door was open they'd come right in the shop until they seen a stranger. Then they'd start chattering and postering , it was fun. The hens were every bit as cranky as any of the gobblers and they developed a pecking order fast. Seemed like every other day a different gobbler was in charge, but the hens had one boss. I think almost all the real talk by the hens was with purrring or subtle chirps. I used to sit with a call in the shop and make a challenge purr and here would come the boss hen and maybe another or two. I wasn't surprised when the one gobbler flogged him in the movie. Come spring Joe's gobblers got aggressive. He let them out one day and they all took off with a wild flock that was calling up on the hill and they never came back. That made him happy as he felt he done his job. I have used what I learned from those birds to kill a lot of their kind. It's not just calling turkeys it's about talking turkey. Someone posted a piece about hung up gobblers. I can tell you many times a hung up gobbler is just listening for that one tone in a call before he commits to coming. You hit the right note and he's there. Not always, but it works in many instances. THen there's the henned up gobbler. Your probably never calling him in just calling to him. I have posted this before and got a few chuckles, but it's an ace in the hold. That is when you pull out the, Hey you skanky bitch, I am taking your man and kicking your skanky arse, what you gonna do about it? Call. It's a fast gutteral sharp purr that is really hard to make. If you can pick that fight he'll come along to watch.
