This is how i communicate with my fellow Turkish friends
Lol. Thanks for the chuckle.
Ayşe Nur Sarı haha good one!!
Lol!
You got me lol
Good one
This is my second year and this video is straight to the point
Good luck! We hope you get one!!
The first UA-cam video on turkey calls that makes sense and demonstrates the call visually and audibly!
Excellent material here. Very nice to have such depth of information delivered by someone who obviously knows what tha hell they're talking about and in a style that has a very positive reflection on hunters. Nice job Tom.
Thank you for the very kind words!
I love that his name is Tom
the contented purr sounds nice. wishing all creatures could enjoy doing that!
Good info. I never knew the fighting purr until my uncle and I were hunting and for about an hour could not get these longbeards in more than 100 yards. Being we had some Jake decoys out and the flock of birds was waking away, he said let's try a fighting purr. About 20 seconds of this and they were in range on a dead run towards us! It was amazing. Ultimately filled one tag at about 15 yards but we couldn't get the double. I'll never forget that hunt.
Awesome story! Thank you for sharing!
Haven’t got any returns on my calls all day and watched this in my blind and got a gobble within 30 minutes. Thanks!
That's awesome! We love to hear that! Nice work, and good luck the rest of the spring!
What did u do?
@@drdwgmd14 He turned up the volume.
crow calls work really well for a shock gobble, glad you mentioned that!
I'm glad I found this video after watching too many turkey calling "tips" that just didn't seem to work. This is the most informative yet with good reasons given for everything discussed. Thank you!
We love to hear it! Glad you found it helpful!
When I get out of my truck before daylight I SLAM my truck door shut and listen for a “startled gobble” to locate turkeys on the roost.
We've seen it work!
Ya damn good on that call Hauss! Welcome, NC
Just found this and love the information. You have shown me a couple things I am doing wrong that could be the reason on some tough hunts. Thanks a ton and keep it up.
Glad it was helpful!
So i call also our neighbor😂
🦃🇹🇷
This video is by far the most informative that I've come across. I'm not knocking the others, but this one is top of the line in my opinion. Having just started turkey hunting a couple of years ago I can use all the help I can get. I really appreciate this intel. I've already been semi-successful at calling, but now I believe that they are outmatched and in trouble.
Awesome to hear! Hopefully you have a successful spring!
YASSSS! THIS^^^!!
Awesome, simple, informative video. Thanks for sharing.
Best an most simple video on the subject great vid
Thanks for sharing a little wisdom in a easy to understand way
You bet! Thanks for watching!
Excellent video!
Thanks for the tips headed out tomorrow for turkey
Thank you for the info. Especially about the roost call.
Hope it can help you out this spring!
Great video and to the point!
Good job, just what our younger crowd needs.
We don't want to leave anyone out!
This was great!
Nice video, explained very well! Thanks!
Great information! thanks for the video. I hear a lot more than I see and now I know why!
Excellent instructional 👌
This guy is knowledgeable
I have two turkeys as pets, they are amazing, friendly birds! (Though they are tasty, I will admit)
The domestic turkeys are friendly! And yes, they are tasty!
Now that's the real deal, great calling vid, even my 🙀 cat was fascinated 😂❤!!
Lol!!
Thanks for the video.
Great info, thank you.
GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Good video. Thanks
Thanks for the excellent tips ! Day opener today 🦃
Good luck!!
Very helpful vid thank you
Perfect! I’m struggling, but doing the same thing over and over…..time to change it up.
Keep practicing, you'll get it!!
Very good first rate video! I also took notice of the Cody glass pot call. Used one the first time this week and got my first turkey: 20lb 2 oz with 10" beard. I like box calls too but a glass pot sounds incredibly realistic. Mount calls require a ton of practice and require way too much customization.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! Congratulations on your first turkey, that's quite an accomplishment, and hopefully there are many more in your future!
Greatly informative video!
Best video hands done on UA-cam.
Glad you enjoyed! Good luck if you're still hunting this spring!
Thank you so much for this. Now I can talk to this lone turkey with a bum leg that I feed. 😂 He was really excited to hear these.
That is awesome! I'm sure he will enjoy the conversations!
@@Whitetail_Properties Yes, he is so intrigued! Thanks to you, I am now the turkey whisperer. 😂
@@jezebelle137 If you get good enough, you might add a few more turkey friends to your list!
O.k. so here's some tips for someone out there. I hunt both private and public land during spring gobbler season. Alotta times on public land I'll actually use a peacock call to locate a gobbler, and here's my reasoning. A peacock locator call isn't used by alotta turkey hunters, even some of the most seasoned/experienced, but for whatever the reason being gobblers can't resist hollering back at it, probably bcuzz it's "different", simply meaning they seldom hear it, or maybe the high pitch in volume hurts their ears, haha kidding, not kidding. Now alotta times mainly on public land you might have several hunters blowing away on an owl call at first light. Now this may, or may "not" affect a 2 year old gobbler. But, if it's a 4 year old he could be sittin up on that ole cypress or oak limb going i haven't heard this many dang "owls" in my entire lifetime, making him a little leary to holler back. Here's a few more reasons, a peacock call is very high pitched, meaning the sound it creates travels farther, and in my "opinion" will oftentimes get a true "shock" gobble. The 2nd reason, very few hunters use them. And, 3rd, if a hunter does hear a peacock call he's more than likely gonna say to himself o.k. there's a hunter over there, stay away, which is very important, especially on public land where anybody and everybody can hunt. I've tried an owl call at first light and not heard anything, mainly on public. Then reach in my turkey vest and pull out the peacock call only to hear 1 or sometimes several birds gobble back. I came up with this theory or logic one morning years ago when i hunted a 300 acre piece of private property, ya see the farmer that owned land next to ours had peacocks, and every morning those peacocks would raise hell, and every morning they did the gobblers raised hell right back at them. Sometimes as hunters we have to adapt to change to succeed. I'm 43 years old and have hunted these majestic birds since i was 9 with my dad. Sooo 34 years of knowledge here texting this. Oh and for those of you who might be wondering the answer is yes, i do know how to use an owl call lol. Happy hunting guys n gals.
We love hearing stuff like this, thank you for sharing!!
Thank you
That’s so amazing, man! Wow!
I appreciate the explanation of why and how of the calling technique. I learn best by understanding why I am doing what I am learning, not just technique. Keep up the good work and thank you for not hustling any products to us.
Glad you found the video helpful! Good luck this spring!
Awsome video our group is ready to hopefully get some turkey hunting videos this year🔥
I only have to walk out on the back deck and practice and can see if it works. Of course I decided to drive 8 hours to hunt probably smaller Tom’s? Just feels more like hunting 😂
well presented and simple, good job. Still working on the cluck, too often sounds like a putt.
Thanks! You will get it if you stick with it!
I've heard a Fighting purr in Mid Fal(st wwk of November)l amongst A Big group of Gobblers Here in N'East PA....also I've seen 2 Gobblers Clucking & Purring at My hen decoy in cut Cornfield on 2013
That's cool! Turkeys are vocal all yea round and are fun to watch interact with each other.
I did not know turkeys experienced happy
How to call a turkey hear turkeys
Hear turkey 😁👍
I'm trying to learn turkey calls for my domestic birds. I've got three babies and one is very vocal demanding we come look at them. They're just over a week old now, and will be pets/ breeding stock hopefully.
Good luck!
Good advice. I appreciate it. Are these basic calls as effective in the fall as well?
Fall is a little different. Turkeys flock up in the fall and winter into large groups of hens, toms and Jake’s. So sequences, cadence and pitch of calls is a little different. We are getting some more turkey calling videos filmed shortly and will try to cover that in more detail.
@@Whitetail_Properties Thank you!
Great info. I think a lot of guys overcall and/or call too aggressively. Just my opinion. I've called in and killed toms using nothing more than a yelp. I think beginners should stick to the simple calls shown here until they are sure of what they are doing. One expert told me that it is better to say less, because if you talk too much you are likely to eventually say the wrong thing.
We agree, typically less is more. Basic turkey sounds like yelps and cuts are just about all you need if you read the situation and the bird properly.
Anyone else get an Ad for visiting Turkey when they clicked on this video?
Good, informative video. What kind of call you running?
Sorry Im not sure what call Tom was using when we shot this video!
Keep watching this video... It's good!
1:00 yelp. 2:10 cluck. 3:33 cluck and purr.
What brand slate call were you using in the video? Sounds really good
Im not sure what call tome was using in this video, sorry!
Looks like an HR strut. Shame on host for not knowing. It also looks like a slate call.
hello, can you explain about the instrument please? is it modern or old native American? thsnks
I have a question! Is it easy to raise Turkeys? Do they have many diseases just like normal chickens?
What is he using to make that turkey sound?
Question... this is my second year hunting and I'm doing it with my compound bow. I have turkey around my 12 acre property and I wanna call a gobbler to me. I've seen where he travels I just need him to come over the fence to my place. I have a crazy jake decoy. What calls should I use in the morning when I already know where he is roosting. Thanks
Get as close to the roost as possible without spooking him and try some soft yelps to see if you can get his attention and make him want to head your way first thing.
Me over here just learning turkey to befriend the local gobbles
I was practicing calling turkeys on my front porch, my democrat neighbor came walking up😂, he had no idea what I was laughing my ass off about😅😂
LOL!
Here I am having hard time communicating with my kids. Only yell sound works.
1:01 2:10 3:33
how to stop my turkey's sound? It sound's too much !
When I watch primos thay say the puur and cluck is a hen that is upset
Killed my first turkey today with little basic knowledge this video definitely helped for the future
Wow, that is awesome and encouraging. Congratulations! Was that your first time turkey hunting?
Corey and Michelle Cimon yup first season
Thats awesome! Congrats on your first turkey!
His cluck is my putt. It’s really hard to replicate the alarm putt
I'm trying to prep to guide someone I know and I've only killed one Turkey but I've big game hunted for 4 years.
Good luck!
I always follow up my clucks with a yelp cause a cluck sounds way to much like a put and do hens cluck after a pur yesss when she is upset! Purr n cluck locks a gobbler up more than not
Turkeys cluck and purr all the time. It's a feeding and contentment call and my turkey dinner call.
Jason Nester I saw a video that said that and it’s literally the most bs thing I’ve seen. Click and purrs are a feeding call. Throw in a few whines and that’ll kill more turkeys than yelps.
Are you pulling or pushing to make the sound
The sound comes from a pulling motion. Think of making a small oval on the slate call to make a Yelp. Adjust the pressure of your hand on the striker and the call until you find a decent tone!
@@Whitetail_Properties thank you
What slate is that?
Im not sure what call tom was using in this video.
My problem is I never know what to do once I'm in the woods. For instance last week I heard several gobblers at sunrise. Should I have not called to them? Should I have gone after them? I called to them, lightly. They didn't seem to respond to my call but they did continue gobbling. They never came in and eventually stopped gobbling. I've killed one bird in 3 years of hunting. He was bushwhacked. I've had one other tom come in and strut but he did not come close enough. Extremely frustrating type of hunting. The golf of the hunting world IMO.
Every situation is different! There is nothing wrong with calling to a bird in the roost. But letting them do their thing on the limb, fly down and start looking for hens might be more ideal to have them respond to a call. Maybe try to set up closer to the roost so that when they fly down they dont have to cover as much ground to get to your location. If they are roosted close to hens, once they fly down down if they get with the hens often they will stop gobbling or responding to calls. Try listening to the hens if you can and try calling to them instead of the tom. If you can call a hen to you that has a tom with her then he will follow. A lot of it is experience and patience! Keep after them! A few of the turkey calling tip videos we did in the last few weeks might give you some good tips too!
@@Whitetail_Properties Thanks for much for the reply! I'm going out tomorrow. I'll see if I can set up a little closer. I will definitely check out those videos.
@@9thchild358 Good luck let us know how you do!

His cluck and purr sounds like a hen that knows somethings up
Daniel I agree 100%
His cluck is very alarming. That’s not the sound of a hen that’s chilled out and feeding along.
A yelp with cadence is a breeding sex call in the spring saying here I am and I got the best legs in the woods want some of this BIG BOY? A cluck is an inquisitive questioning call that a hen makes when looking for a bird she's heard but can't find and wants to find it. Who are you where are you? I have seen this many times with my own eyes as hens have come to my calls at various times. Yes there are clucks that are clucks of contentment usually while feeding as turkeys like company but they sound different with different spacing and frequency. You have to be a rookie to believe what this guy is telling you. He's partially correct but has things out of context. Sorry Spring is for breeding and making little turkeys
I killed my second turkey today on public land and me and my uncle called it in
Nice! Congrats!
Baylen Berendsen that is awesome! Congratulations!
Can a wild turkey be a pet?
It would not be wild if it were a pet.
Wild turkeys and domestic turkeys are almost identical and simply considered a subspecies. You can get domestic turkeys in the same coloration relatively easily.
@@alexsolon9629 Domestic isn't wild. Coloring is not what makes turkeys tame or wild. Point missed completely.
William Gaines if you're looking for wild behavior then having it as a pet eliminates that entirely. Additionally they're the same species just that some varieties have been bred for size and some for color. With a heritage breed the size and color would be more or less identical. Lastly you can't legally own a wild turkey. I can't imagine why you would want to go through all the trouble of getting a wild turkey when you could simply have the same experience legally and inexpensively.
@@alexsolon9629 So, doubling down on the missed point.
maniac32145 asked the question, I gave a logical answer and you...?
Really letting novice hunters down by not mentioning the cutt. Once you learn that gobblers will love you.
What's the cutt?
Neverrrrrrr follow a click with a purr
Do hens do it yes
When she is upsetttttt
Thanks, it's great to hear "why", and just not "how".
Btw, those are the ugliest birds on the planet....unless they're coming out of the oven.
Alright. First off. I've shot birds rubbing to stones together. THEY ARE DUMB ANIMALS. EASILY FOOLED. If anyone says "your messing up the woods" or "your educating the birds" that's ppl first excuse on why they did not kill a bird. Don't hunt with those kinds of ppl. Also don't take youre advice from a striker caller. Learn to use a mouth call for a couple days, get it raspy and go kill a bird, and ALWAYS BE CONSERVATIVE WITH YOUR CALLS!
Great video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
