One thing about calling that I've gleaned from these videos is the amount of clucking that should probably be done... both while walking and when actually working a bird.


Yep, he made a comment in one of the videos that makes sense....if you're going to be walking through the woods anyway, you might as well sound like a turkey walking through the woods, and they're constantly making little subtle noises. There's one sound they make, not sure if you'd call it a cluck or something else, but I can't for the life of me get anywhere close to that sound. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and has a simple explanation, I'd love to hear it. For example, he does it several times starting around the 10:30 mark here.

Making a turkey sound in the woods without a plan and a tree already picked out to sit against can be a dangerous thing. Those guys are elite turkey hunters and they know what they are doing but I guess what I’m trying to say is if you’re new to turkey hunting don’t get it in your head that easing around in the woods clucking can ever be a good thing. 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.

That point makes sense too.....I, personally, try to lean toward the very conservative end of the calling spectrum because I'm just not very good. I do some short quiet yelping and rely a lot on scratching in the leaves most of the time, but usually I at least have a tree picked out before I do any calling so that if something surprises me, I have a plan.

But damn I want to be able to make that sound they're making in the clip I posted above. grin

One simple thing he does that I think gets overlooked a lot and is really underrated as far as sounding like pure turkey is the one and two note yelps. Think about how many times you’ve heard someone call and every time they yelp it’s a long drawn out series. I’ve heard hens make those single and double note yelps more than I have the longer series of yelps.

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.

On several occasions I've had gobblers come into or gobble just at the sound of walking in the leaves. Turkeys and humans are very hard to impossible to distinguish between sometimes and it fools turkeys sometimes.

On several occasions I’ve scratched my way to a tree trying to get to a turkey cause I knew he had to be able to hear me walking and he’d get there about the same time I got sat down good.

Gomer the sounds you're talking about are just content sounds turkeys make while going about their everyday business. The water drop cluck is nothing more than a feeding/content cluck. Kind of like a feeding/content purr. You won't here hens make these sounds unless you're extremely close to them and they're absolutely at ease. They're the same as a excited cluck and purr just toned down.

I've used them and the little whip and whine on gobblers that are close and need that little reassurance to take those last few steps.

yep...this....I'll walk and pause then scratch my foot a couple of times like a turkey, then repeat on certain occasions...works deer hunting too in order to not spook as many deer

I started watching this on YouTube. It's like you are right there with them. My wife laughs at me about how I catch myself whispering along with them. It gives me the goose bumbs when they here those first gobbles of the morning. This is the next best thing to actually being in the hunt. Good videos.
