When do "you" call agressively?

[Marc]

Seen a lot of posts about less being more as far as calling....  I have made some of those posts myself.

But there are times, when more is more....  What situations do you like to call loud and agressively?

For me it is one of two conditions...

If I am talking to a hen, I will get down on the call...  You know...  That hen that sounds like a white trash gal, about to throw the hammer down on some other gal comin' after her man...  I wanna' make that hen as mad as possible, so that she brings the consortium of hens and toms with her to me....

Second situation is that tom that sounds off at your call, and is obviously heading towards you at full speed, and is excited at every sound that comes out of the call...  I'll stay on the call pretty hard for that guy...

When do get on and stay on the call agressively???

Exactly that: first bird of the year I heard gobble spontaneously. Moved in set down. Second series of calls he answered and I jumped on him. We went back and forth several times with each of us cutting the other off. Then I withdrew and got on the gun. He gobbled once or twice more than went quiet- SOP for MS birds. Within 10 minutes he was at 27yds...
I'm normally reserved believing that most of the time a gobbler is coming whether you hammer or just stroke him so to speak. But when they're hot I'll respond in kind.
As far as calling aggressive to hens- I haven't been real successful at that. Mostly they pack him up and go the other way, lol. I have kinda soft sold hens with yelps. Clucks. Purrs.
Good thread!??

Mostly to a hen in order to get her upset and come looking for me and bring him with her, Usually he will be somewhere behind her.

What is aggressive calling?

Do you mean calling like real hens call?

I don't really get into this aggressive/soft calling deal. I play the game by feel and don't even consciously think about it. My brain is constantly taking in the feedback from the turkeys, and I just subconsciously react. I didn't even really realize how much I did this until I started teaching my boys how to hunt and started explaining things. I firmly believe indecision is worse than a bad decision when it comes to turkey hunting.

I agree with your first condition with the hens, I have had many conversations with them talking the same language their talking and they come over to see what's going on with Gobbler in tow. The second condition is different, if he is coming in hard I will usually stop the calling and wait to see how he is reacting. He may just run up your gun barrel.

When a gobbler drifts away with his hens, I open the flood gates and let 'em have it

I only do what the hens do... Plus 1.

I mostly only call aggressively if I'm hunting turkeys.

And I'm awake.

I'm guilty also. I have learned more patience, but am pretty aggressive. Till it's time to not be, lol. Z

I have had them run me over and I have never heard another peep and they seem to disappear.  You have to make a call as your decision and get ready for cake or crap.  They are interesting creatures.  They seldom are alarmed by quiet calling,the kind that they do most of the time.

All depends on the situation. Being a call maker and propagator of Easterns, I love to call. Love to really fire them up. If I think I can get away with it I send it, until I shouldn't. When that is depends on the tom/toms mood. I'm often wrong, but when I'm rite Bam!.

Great words of wisdom for turkey hunting, but also true in most facets of life!
