I'm convinced I can't hear it. I haven't been around a ton of gobblers, but I've had them strutting within 50-75yds a handful of times and I've never heard it. I've also had people post or send me videos claiming to be good examples of clear, easy-to-hear drumming, and *nothing*. Supposedly you can hear it clearly in this video below...but I can't.
I think it's just an issue of not being able to hear certain frequencies. I hate it too, because by all accounts it's a really cool thing to experience.
Yep on the video - very clear on cheap computer speakers. Some folks pick up that frequency some don't. I can hear some gobblers drumming at 100 yds, some have to be in range, I think some do it better than others. Great sound no doubt!
I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine
