Yes. Just loud enough he knows I’m there and to kill him.

Nope. Just shine the light in his eyes and limb launch him. No calling at all needed.

I'll generally give a few soft yelps off my old lynch box. But late last year a good friend I hunt with got kinda pissy when I'd do that. It's been the downfall of quite a few birds in my lifetime.

I start by owl hooting at the truck. Then I hoot and crow call until I’m within 100 yards of him. I then sit down and start cutting real loud. When I think he is on the ground I start purring really loud and gobbling. Then I get up and head to work. At night I just have a few beers and get on forums like this and give turkey hunting advice.😀

Soft clucks and yelps early then a fly down if there are hens close by. I want him to think I'm the first hen on the ground and hopefully he'll fly down in my direction.

Yes. Just loud enough he knows I’m there and to kill him.

I agree with original post all folks want to talk about is TSS and patterns.

Depends on the camo pattern I am wearing. If it's Obsession, I just walk right up to the tree and shoot him as soon as his feet leave the branch. No calling even necessary.
Yeah, well, I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas: sunshine, sunflowers, and sons-of-bitches.

Everyone is saying the right things now, but how many of you are just playing follow the leader and how many had to learn the hard way? I never had anyone teach me how to turkey hunt. I went a few times with high school friends that could call, but they didn’t know jack about turkey hunting. I spent a lot of years yelping at them bastards up in a tree. It’s hard not too, when you don’t know any better and that thing keeps gobbling at every noise you make. You just know he’s gonna land in your lap any second....only to see he likes the other direction 99% of the time. Heck, I’ve done the same thing on the ground a bunch, over calling till they disappear. I’ve also been on birds 100 times where they go silent, I get impatient or bored and get up to move on and get to hear a putting turkey hauling arse out of there. So BrentM, there is another topic... how many will admit that they can’t shut up or be patient? I don’t know how many turkeys I’ve killed, but I would guess it is somewhere around 150. It helps a bunch when you get to travel to several states where you can stack them up quick. But even with a fair number of birds killed, I will continue to make a lot of the same mistakes over and over again. But yelping at them in a tree for 2 hours, isn’t one of them. I’ll just belly crawl closer with a fan and limb launch him with some TSS!

I’ll just belly crawl closer with a fan and limb launch him with some TSS! I'll admit to being impatient. Never been worth a damn at deer hunting them. I move until I strike one. Now, once I've been answered a single time, I can sit for hours if need be. As for calling to them in a tree. I think people let a lot of killable birds walk off by taking the "no calling to a bird on the roost" "don't overcall" tips, to an extreme. There's a difference between aggressive calling and over calling. There's times to be silent, and there's times to throw the kitchen sink at them. There's never a time to call constantly over extended periods of time.

I’ll just belly crawl closer with a fan and limb launch him with some TSS! Great post...I never even got invited by friends and had to learn what turkeys sounded like listening to a Ben Rogers Lee Cassette...Heck, the first couple of times I tried to blow a mouth call, I had the diaphragm backwards and no wonder I couldn't get a sound out! I have ruined too many hunts to count and even walked off on the first bird I called in that was drumming because I didn't know what that sound was and thought the bird had left! Patience is the number one thing I have had to work on and more birds are being called in/killed due to becoming more patient, using less calling, and learning better set up strategies. I do like to give a lil tree yelp to one on roost, but I hunt super aggressively and have no problem slipping as close as I can to the roost...If he gobbles at that, I'll put the call down...I may do a flydown just with my hat and no call sometimes, and sometimes I'll even do a cackle with it...It varies on how I read the birds to be acting/their mood...Like you said, I ain't gonna sit there and yelp for 2 hours with em in a tree just to hear them!

I’ll be the one to say it........ most people that kill turkeys right off the roost early season are doing so because they happen to be sitting in a green patch that gobblers and hens have already been pitching out into or going to first thing in the morning ever since before the season opened. I’d rather hear a turkey Gobble a couple times on the ground than 100 times in a tree

I start by owl hooting at the truck. Then I hoot and crow call until I’m within 100 yards of him. I then sit down and start cutting real loud. When I think he is on the ground I start purring really loud and gobbling. Then I get up and head to work. At night I just have a few beers and get on forums like this and give turkey hunting advice.😀 Funny!

I NEVER call while he in ina tree. I will scratch to let him know I'm here. Less is more when talking to a nice mature PBT

Are we talking push over private land birds or WMA birds that are called to 7 days a week? “Pushover private land birds” hahahaha, I’m in 3 different hunting clubs, private leased land. Each club has a few dedicated turkey killers. Trust me, they aren’t pushovers. I may be wrong, but I think if those fellers were really dedicated turkey killers , those turkeys wouldn't live long enough to get very sharp. You are correct they don’t last very long.

I like to do some calling to them on the limb for sure.
Scrape a tree a little with a wing or my hat , then a few soft yelps like a hen waking up and moving around on the limb.
Even if they are hammering at me, Ill still wait a little while and then do the same thing.
If they gobble at the "wing" the next time that I do it and before I call..It is ON. That joker is usually a lone crazy 2 yr old bird looking to die.
If they hit the call instead of the wing , Ill do a it again a few times...little wing brushing then a few soft tree yelps. Letting him know Im still here and interested if he is. If hes an old bird hes played this game before so I tone it down.
If I hear a hen fly down, I flydown cackle right away, flapping my wing or hat against my leg and get my gun up. I hate when they follow a hen away. If I dont hear one, Ill fly down cackle when I think its time and can see well enough to shoot and aim at my decoys and wait and see what happens.
Ive flown many gobblers down right after a flydown cackle. I also like to do 3 -4 flydowns, some with 1 -2 cackles,..but most with just my wing or hat. Then some light clucking when I hit the ground, like a hen shaking off the night.
I like to call on the limb at them to let them know where I am, that im interested, and to take their temperature and see just how hot they are.
My actions after that solely depend on theirs.
