Clucks n purrs..

[Siwash]

Hey folks,

So far two outings and O-fer...

Had a gobbler  come in close but wouldn't commit last wednesday (couldn't see him through cover) then female walked right by me at the end of the day..

On sat, had a bird come in but it stayed behind me... couldn't see it... I didn't have a decoy out so it wouldn't come out in front of me.. so I just kept softly calling occasionally. The bird was clucking followed immediately by purrs... Do males (jakes or toms) cluck n purr or is it only females?

Thanks

Those clucks and purrs were contact calls. the turkey was looking for you and asking you to show yourself.
