In the words of Lovett Williams, “the only difference in an alarm putt and a cluck is if the turkey is calm, or if it’s running or flying away.” It went something like that anyway. There’s different clucks (putts) just like there are different yelps, purrs, whines, etc. Some are calm and quiet, some are loud and raspy. Some are done standing in one spot, feeding, or getting the hell outta dodge. The only difference is the mood and/or action of the turkey.
