- What is the cut of a hen? - Cutting of a hen is a rapid-fire type calling sequence a hen will do in an excited manner to grab the attention of other turkeys. When hens cut, they are oftentimes seeking a nearby gobbler. The sporadic nature of the call leaves short intervals between each sharp and energetic cluck for her to listen for a responding gobbler. Typically in the Spring, longbeards like to acknowledge their request with a responding gobbler. When listening to hens cut, hunters will notice there are untimed and nearly unpredictable spaces between each sound that give the tom a moment to respond. Now to say that this is the only reason a hen would cut would be a fallacy. Hens may cut at other hens, or even an intruder of sorts onto an area that she's taken up as her own for the time. To truly say one understands what birds are communicating is a bit of hocus pocus. A sure bet, however, is that a cut is usually not used as an alarm sound and indicates an excited hen who is either pissed off or looking to get walked on top of. Hens who are unapproving of other hens will often cut at one another which can then lead to hen fighting. Regardless of any of the translations, hens are involved, and as I like to say, "Where there is smoke there's fire!"
When deciding to cut like a hen, one thing to be mindful of is that a gobbler may be close and you will likely get his attention. Will cutting bring that old wary tom on into shotgun range? Well possibly. possibly not. If you working to locate a bird, however, and fire off a staccato burst of cutts, and he does answer, then you best be looking for a place to hunker down however cause he could be there in seconds. Cutting is one of the most aggressive, exciting, and effective calls a turkey hunter can deploy. For this, it sits among my favorite sounds to use on a regular day-to-day basis in the turkey woods.

Thanks Bob! I hope they lead to some success in the upcoming weeks. Be sure and send me a picture and let me know how you do! Good luck bud!
You have help me more then you'll ever know thank you for your wanting to help inspire others
Awesome. That’s my only goal is to hopefully help a few folks along the way. Thanks for the positive feedback and for tuning in. Good luck this spring!
Thank you for the vids man, you explain this stuff really well.
Glad you like them buddy! Hope they help you and feel free to hit me with any questions. Good luck this spring
Great videos, dude! Thanks for the effort!
Thank you! Good luck this spring
How do you create the whipping sound on your cutting call. Very nice sound. Just purchased my first mouth call’s. Beau Brooks has a pronounced jaw dropping as he calls on his videos that I can’t do. It appears you have a shuttle movement you use. I’m getting better results closer to your cheek movement better. I wish there were more in-depth video’s that could show mouth and tongue movements working in tandem. I love your videos. Thanks for teaching us beginners.
I think alot of this just comes with practice and using the right calls. As I emphasize the calls that require less air will teach you to make the sounds and articulate your jaw, tongue and lips while delivering the air as needed. All of the calls I make are ones you will find use very little air, thus you can focus more on perfecting the sound your looking for without really struggling to find and control the air.
Let me know if there is a video of sorts that would be helpful to explain something and I will try and make it happen.
What part of your tongue are you using? Do you use the tip of your tongue or more of the middle when putting pressure on the reed?
You have to start with a constant pressure on the bottom of the call, and as you pop air across the reed, you will release the pressure from the call's bottom.
Can't see what your mouth is doing because you covered it with your hands
Sorry Bud Its kinda habit. I will try and make a more comprehensive video on cutting and keep my hands out of the way. Thanks for the feedback! Good luck this spring and look out for an updates on cutting.
Wait a minute, you said Virginia. What part of Virginia? I’m in the Smyth county area.
Yes sir! Isle of Wight County!
