Exactly Brent!

Ive always called it a "contact cluck". The gobbler comes in quiet, looks around and doesnt see a hen where there should be one.. He "Contact clucks" once. It sounds like 2 wood sticks hitting each other.

Its his way of saying, "IM here, where are you?"

I usually do a soft cluck right back on a mouth call, purr a little and scratch some leaves as I try my best to spot him. Sometimes they start strutting in right after you answer. When they hear that soft cluck back, purring and scratching they decide.."Oh heck..shes right over there feeding I just cant see her yet" and come a little further trying to.

I listen for that cluck as much as I do spitting and drumming. Those are the 2 sounds quiet gobblers make when they come in is my experience.
