Hearing them isn’t an issue (when they gobble), but direction seems to be. I talked with an older guy I met on public land a couple of weeks ago. He uses an ear muff type headset that helps him hear distant birds. Of course I tried it on, and it does make the hearing part easier, but my issue is direction. I hunt solo (no one in my family turkey hunts) and I’ve been trying really hard to get my first turkey. I took my girlfriend this morning and we heard at least two different birds at sunrise. They both gobbled several times. I’d been to this area several times before and I’ve put boots on the ground and I know the lay of the land. One sounds off what I hear is directly in front of us and close. A seconds sounds off what sounds like to my left and much farther away. Now they gobbled several times and I’d point at the direction each gobble came from, my girlfriend would point in a different direction. I get they turn their heads and true it does play with my ears on the distant part, but the direction of the gobble is what I’m questioning. Any recommendations! I’m all EARS!
