shickoff Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hey everybody, I just did this interview with Scott Ellis for our Realtree Turkey Blog: Turkey Hunting Blog | Realtree ® Have any of you had success with the whine call?

shickoff Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Like you, no doubt, I've sometimes heard it before I've seen turkeys approaching. That sound never gets old at the moment of truth. You make out okay with Irene? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Ive thrown whines into kee-kee sequences before. I suppose it may add a bit to the realism. But I've not found it to be a "closer" kind of call that will pull birds in if they weren't going to come to anything else. Never hurts to have as much of a turkey's vocabulary in your toolbox as possible, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shickoff Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I'm with ya, Strut10. That turkey calling playbook should have as many pages as possible . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 yea i think it wouldn't hurt... i've called in turkeys to where i didn't need it. most that have hung up were too far i feel that they should be able to hear that call. it wouldn't be natural. i've observed some hunters call to a turkey much louder than i thought they should've. the toms would shock gobble but change course and head away from the callers. i feel that it's inevitable that some day i'll have a turkey hang up at closer ranges and that call will be needed to seal the deal. i made it out fine other than a washed out driveway and some leaning garden plants. mike (ruttinbuc) from NJ also got hit, but made it through with no damage. not sure of other forum members getting hit and how they made out. thanks!

shickoff Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Good to hear you made out okay . . . Your mention of the "shock gobble but change course away from the callers" is familiar ground for sure. ;-) Whines and purrs in low-key mode sometimes close the deal. yea i think it wouldn't hurt... i've called in turkeys to where i didn't need it. most that have hung up were too far i feel that they should be able to hear that call. it wouldn't be natural. i've observed some hunters call to a turkey much louder than i thought they should've. the toms would shock gobble but change course and head away from the callers. i feel that it's inevitable that some day i'll have a turkey hang up at closer ranges and that call will be needed to seal the deal. i made it out fine other than a washed out driveway and some leaning garden plants. mike (ruttinbuc) from NJ also got hit, but made it through with no damage. not sure of other forum members getting hit and how they made out. thanks!

Rhino Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Sure I've used it in conjuction with clucking & purring. I can't say it was a deal closer over purring or other soft calls I've used. Just another vocal tool in the turkey call arsenal. Hens do a lot more soft talk than loud talk so I do too, especially when they are getting close. Most hunters out there dish out loud turkey calling and hardly any soft calls.
