A couple years ago I paid a visit to Ralph Snodgrass and made this video.  He makes a great call and is one of the few old school turkey hunters left in the sport.

Great Subject line...Lol...My wife after all these years has never and will never get use to my practicing turkey calls in the house. In fact they are multipurpose...If I want the house to myself that is... Anyone know how long Ralph's call wait list is??His mini long box has been on my turkey call bucket list for awhile...

My wife can tune them out now. I run calls around my house off and on all year. Of course the closer to season we get , the more frequent it becomes.

Man how long does that take?!  Mine can hear me working on soft purrs and clucks and give me the "please stop!" before I finish one series.

It just takes a few times of having to fix your own supper and getting some sort of mean looks.  Honestly, I am fortunate though as my wife does not care as long as I am in a different room, but I also prefer to play outside.

I'm in the same boat as Davis... Usually asked to just play in a different room, if that's an issue. I've played everyday of the last year, a minimum of 20-30 minutes. Often times longer.

Finding an old lady that supports our passions for this great sport is a necessity. Make her realize how much you love turkey hunting, then tell her you love her just a little bit more than that. If that's not sufficient, she ain't the one.

thing is , my wife knew my passion for this sport long before we married. She can read a book while I run through calls and very seldom says anything about it. I respect her wishes when she tells me that she does not feel very well or if I get waaaaaay overboard hammering out loud cuts and cackles.

My wife has not problems with me playing my calls. She just puts her headphones on and listen to music...

I play my calls in the house and my wife we tell me, "I liked the second one, that first one was too raspy" I got a good one that knows the difference between a jake and hen yelp. As long as I don't disturb nap time for the kids im good to go

My daughter who isn't even 4 always wants to play with the box calls when I get calls out.

Mine don't mind a bit. Says its only bad when the person calling sucks at it.Course she helps debone deer and turkeys. She has even shot a few herself. I got a good one.

Can't say as I've ever gotten chirped at for calling in the house.

The Mrs. has been there and killed a few.   She's my buyer when it comes to calls, a lot of the time.   

And NOW...........our newly teenage daughter has downed a couple and officially been bitten by the turkey bug, so...........

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.
