I’m not talking about getting shot I’m talking about spooking turkeys.
Wasn’t directed at anybody in particular just made me think of a discussion a friend and I had a while back after watching that video.


I think the clucking while walking is part of the plan... they don't do it blindly walking around prospecting from what I recall (I could be mistaken here). They do it when they either are working towards a bird that stopped gobbling or towards birds that they have located. There's always the off chance that in doing this you will get a bird to sound off close and he'll leave you scrambling for a setup. However, if he's close enough to spook doing that, you're probably going to spook that bird anyways. Gomer... Dave calls it a "water cluck" or a "water drop cluck". It's not that hard to learn, but it's easier to do it on some calls than others.
