Ain’t what it used to be. I’m tired of hearing about baiting and decoys and TSS and bottomland camouflage.

Here is a real turkey question...... do you ever call to a turkey in a tree and if so how and why?

I'll do a few tree yelps and sometimes a fly down to let him know I'm there, but other than that I'm not saying anything until he's on the ground.

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

Depends on how close I am and which way I think he wants to go. In the ideal situation, I'm under 100 yards, and in the direction he wants to go. In that case, no calling until his feet hit the dirt

Ill give a few soft tree yelps just loud enough to hear typically then wait till I know he is on the ground for anything else


Only accurate rifles are interesting.

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.

That box wouldn’t know what a “soft yelp” was if it got knocked in the head with one rofl

Yea I guess maybe one day I'll finally figure out how to kill a turkey. Shame I didn't grow up in the turkey woods like some did

Like others have said depends on the bird, where I think he’ll go, where any hens may be, & how I feel that morning.

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.

Tree yelps and a fly down generally. Ive played the quiet game too much to have them fly down with another hen and go the other way before I can play catch up. Usually it works out in my favor.
