A very long time ago I figured out what spitten and drummen sounded like. Once I did , my dead bird count went up significantly. No telling how many slipped on by me when I was young and not picking up on that sound. Sometimes I can hear it 100 yards away.I still don't know what it sounds like. I've had a few Infront of me and the spitting part is noticeable but I guess I can't hear the drumming.

I can't pick up the tick as well as the drum. You can almost feel it once you learn what you are hearing. There are some that cannot hear it at all. Had a buddy I called a bird up for. The bird was right over a finger ridge about 35 yards away. He was drumming hard and my buddy could not hear it.
