A Gobbler Yelp Spring Or Fall Is A Long Conversation..

Marc

Anyone have a link  to actual gobblers and jakes yelping?

I have certainly watched jakes yelp, and and seen/heard a tom or two...  But not enough to practice by emmulation as I can with hens...  Listening to, and watching a couple jakes yelp this season, there is a different pitch/tone, and a very different cadence to their yelp.

Watching YouTube videos, it seems that a lot of hunters sound closer to a tom/jake yelp than a hen, and very often they are killin' birds.

If anyone has a video or audio link to actual live toms/jakes yelping, I am sure it would be worth a listen for all of us on the forum!
Did I do that?

Fly fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.

A great source would be most any of Lovett Williams "Real Turkeys". cd's. My favorite is #6.

Roger Parks, seminar / Youtube video at Unicoi is some of the best information you could watch and learn from about gobbler / Jake yelps etc..

Jake yelps are deadly in the right situation for sure....

Is Mr. Parks still making these calls? Anyone order one recently?

Years ago, the old-time turkey hunters were diehard scratchbox users. Many claimed the scratchbox comes the closest to imitating an old gobbler yelp and cluck. A good gobbler scratchbox is deadly spring or fall. If you can get between a gobbler and his hens in the spring, and the hens start flying down...then you start calling on a good gobbler scratchbox. That gobbler is highly likely to ride with you home in your truck.

quaker boy original double slate is another good one, all of these type slates are 4 in or more and not many being made any more except for the Parks, mike

I'm going to hit the Fall Woods to hunt for a Gobbler. I've been studying videos and acquired some gobbler specific calls. I just received this Gobbler Pot and strikers from Roger Parks. He is a great guy to deal with, sent my call out right away, I received it in a few days. The call has 2 sides, each specific for the particular calls used in the Fall. He sets up the surfaces and marks them accordingly. This call sounds unreal, it hen yelps and clucks as good as most pots in my collection that I use in the Spring. The kee-kee, gobbler and Jake yelps are very realistic. I look forward to trying these this October, can't wait!
