I seldom watch turkey tv, and I don't go to turkey conventions, and I've never even been to a calling contest, so I don't know some of the terminology that other hunters take for granted.

But I can tell you for sure that turkeys make a sound that I would call a putt that can be deadly. It is very close to the same sound as the alarm putt, but it's different, and it means, "Where are you, my love?". It's a sound that both gobblers and hens can make, but I have heard gobblers make it more than hens.


All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
