i have used gobble calls to shock call ,but no longer use them> Specifically on public land. I don't want some other hunter to think i am a tom and start stalking me. between owls, geese, woodpecker, peacock and other varios shock calls like coyote you can locate the birds.

My buddy is very stubborn he still thinks that gobble calls going to bring something in. :](*,) That's why we don't hunt in the same county. :roll:

Yea i undearstand where he is coming from. But if he was calling trying to bring in a tom that had hens the gobbler would go the other way. Know if it was a lone gobbler i dont know. i use a box call insutuations were i can get away with hand movement,because i can get better sounds, but i also have a mouth call in if my hand movement could be seen. I am good enough to call a tom and get him attrackted with a mouth call just not when he has hens already. I also love my slate call custome made one it a couple of years back.

Hi Guys, This is my first Turkey season I'm very excited about it. I see them all over the place around my town and I cant wait to get out there. I am going with an experienced Turkey hunter.
I do need to out of town a bit to get to a legal area and I was trying some scouting this week. I picked up a Crow call. I'll tell ya I don't think sounds ANYthING like a crow, It sounds more like a damm duck or somehting. It's a Hunter specialty crow call. It says just do the diaphram thing and It's easy. But I kinda laugh when I try it. Anyone else use crow calls to locate? Should I get a owl instead? Or am I just using it wrong. I have no idea. :oops: lol
Plus a friend of mine told me a while ago that a crow is more for later in the morning an and owl is best for sun-up. True?
Thanks guys Oh By the way I'm taking my Bow :laugh: I just hope I have fun calling em in. I just love to be outdoors.

Thanks, Tom

I have both and rarely use them. get there before first light and listen to 'em go crazy before sunup. However there are times when you need to find them and I believe any loud noise will set them off. I wouldn't worry about the crow call soundin to much like a crow. I've had them gobble after I shooting another turkey.

Good Luck and post that TOM when you get him :thumbsup1:
