Would you rather hear drumming or gobbling?

[Marc]

Given that the birds are about the same distance, would you rather hear a bird drumming or gobbling?

I feel like a gobbling bird is still searching for that hen, whereas a drumming bird is saying "come here."

I have killed drumming birds, but as soon as I hear them drumming, I know things can get more difficult...  If that same bird sounds off with a gobble, I feel like I can get him...

I would much rather hear a close gobble...    How about you?

[Jimspur]

I have never looked at it like that. I think I'm gonna kill him either way,
so I guess it doesn't matter to me. It's an interesting question.

Gobbling, I can't really hear drumming

I don't interpret drumming the same way. I interpret it as here I am let's have some fun babe.

Gobbleing  can be taken different ways. Here I am are there any babes out there! Or here I am get over hear. Or dude I'm right over hear you best shut your mouth and so on.

Either one is a ok in my book.

Well if I'm on the public and I get lucky enough to hear one drumming I'll take that over gobbling. Nobody else will hear it and come in on me.  A loud gobble right in your face sure is nice though.

   Gobbling!
  Hopefully the competition  will have to Splash on through calf deep Wetlands and angle around a army of Indian Heads before they get too close- too quick- lol!

Gobbling if they're both close, but man I have to say, once I hear drumming, I'm on full alert because that old boy is close. I can hear drumming a good ways off, but sometimes have trouble pinpointing that sound at first. Hey, both are pretty sweet sounds!

Put me down for drumming.   Gobbling can be for a number of reasons, drumming not so much.

I am with him on this!

When you hear that drumming ....you know he is CLOSE ...freeze up and dont move a inch , untill you figure where he is at (behind...to the side)

Considering how much the bird population has declined in my area, I will be glad to hear either one once the season starts!

Man I'm jealous. I've not been able to hear drumming for years. I've got tinnitus so bad I can't hear a lot of sounds. Can still hear spitting. But drumming... it's been lost on me over the last decade or so. Called 2 right up to within 15 feet of my niece a couple years ago. She mentioned she could hear it. I could not. Couldn't hear much after she shot either. She missed btw. Twice.

I love both but if I have to pick one it's definitely drumming.

Drumming, your in his circle/comfort zone. He's close and can be taken with the right move. I've closed more deals hearing drumming versus gobbling.........

Gobbling without a doubt.
