beagleboy Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 What is the sequence of things you do after you hear that gobbler sound off in the morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nut Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Re: First thing you do? [ QUOTE ] 1: Hear 2: Sit 3: Call 4: Kill [/ QUOTE ] That sums it up The sit part is determined on how far away the gobbler is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Re: First thing you do? They can hear your calls 3x further away then you can here their gobbling. If you hear one sounding off to your calls then find a good spot and start calling him in. He will be closer then you think. People try to tell ya no closer then 100 yards, 200 yards etc. I find that if you try a push your luck to close the gap, he's gone... Just try to know your location if you can. It sucks to do what I said, hear a bird and drop right down to call and find a bird hang up on a fence line or brook. They dont seem to like going dwon hill much either which makes no dang sense but that my experience. They are hot to trot but are fussy about going to that sweet sounding hen. By nature the hens are suppose to go to them so they dont work all that hard if they dont have to. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeck Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: First thing you do? The biggest complaint men have about women is they talk to much. Try not to talk more than you have to to a gobbler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: First thing you do? Depends.....Am I already sitting where I can work him or do I need to set up somewhere else? I prefer to be sitting where I think I can work a bird before it gets daylight. That involves some homework. Assuming I'm already where I need to be, my slate call was already preped and ready before daylight. My diaphram is already getting lathered up too before a bird is going to gobble on the roost. When he does I'll probably wait till he touches down before I call. If I hear hens close by I'll give him a soft tree yelp (only once) and then wait till his feet are on the ground. From then on it's just play the game the way it plays out with what he does from that point on. If I'm not where I need to be to work that roosted gobbling bird, I'll move to where I think he'll go coming off the roost without him seeing me, and play the hunt out from there. I really prefer not to call to a bird until he's on the ground. As I said before live hens talkin to him before he flys down changes the game just a bit.
