@ZamaSoldier. You can kill a turkey with buck shot but it would be a lot easier to use turkey shot than shooting it 3 times and you would need to have a turkey choke on the end of the gun.
its spring turkey in vermont right now, i missed my chance to get one this morning, but im damn sure i can get him tomorrow morning. its a blast anyway. its my second love. people that wanna try hunting birds. its a blast and i recommend it to anyone. great video, helped me out some. Goodluck to all you hunters out there. go murder that gobbler!
Great video!!! Can you explain why the turkey would make those different sounds (cutting ,purring, yelp ect.) and when you would use them. Thanks so much.
Hi thanks for watching my video....I normally use just two hen decoys..here in Mo Ive seen a tom or jake decoy actually scare of a less dominant gobbler...Yes it doesnt scare them all but it will a few. Thats my opinion.
Hi great video and I live in Minnesota and how many decoys is good I was thinking two hens one Tom im not sure what do you think is good? (its my first year) Thanks
Its probably a double reed split v...Thats one of my favorites to use. I cant remember what brand that one was...I started out using HS Struts mouth calls they are good and can be found at most wal marts,
I just got a primo ol' betsy slate call for christmas it has a wooden striker. How much pressure should I apply to get a good sound? Do I need to press hard or really light? I'm having a hard time getting sound out of it. I'm a beginner upcoming spring will be my first year.
@grillmasterjim Just use as much pressure as you would use to write with a lead pencil on a piece of paper...If you are doing it right you can make the same sounds by pressing hard or soft just louder or quieter...make sense?
Hey thanks alot Greg! been taking my 11 year old son turkey hunting starting this Fall and he is loving it! We are using a Genesis compound bow and slate caller.
Hey thanks alot Greg! been taking my 11 year old son turkey hunting starting this Fall and he is loving it! We are using a Genesis compound bow and slate caller.
@bikar13 I think that I would call more in the morns because most birds want to group up as soon as they come off the roost...they want to meet their neighbor so to speak..LOL.....and in the eves just some light soft calling should do the trick...hope this helps go get em!!
I keep running into turkeys on the farm in OH. I figured it was about time to get one, but I'd never seen these calls in action before. You're video was exactly what I needed, thanks brother!
Those massacres were perpetrated throughout different regions of the Ottoman Empire by the Young Turkish Government which was in power at the time.
The first international reaction to the violence resulted in a joint statement by France, Russia and Great Britain, agreeing that the Turkish government must be punished for committing such crimes.
do you want to use coarse sandpaper or the fine stuff, cause im going turkey hunting for the first time and im trying to learn the most i can by next weekend
@tkoboxer23 If your using a brand new slate I would ruff it up the first time with a ruffer paper then a fine grit will work fine after the first initial ruff up.....I hope that helps ya! Good luck
Thanks Greg I did find it helpfull....as a new Bow hunter and Turkey hunter...all the hints people have been giving me and my boy have beeen very helpfull....thanks
Youth day in wmz 21 here in maine on saturday so, Bo is gonna hit the blind and see what he can come up with....your demo has given us some good ideas thanks
do u have any tips on late season turkey hunting? i'm using a primos "the freak" with crystal and the primos power owl. I also have a jake decoy with two hens, what is the best way to use decoys to my advantage?
@huntingisthelife12 Im really ready to hunting its been a long winter....very tough on our flocks! Its going to be a ruff season I think its been 3 bad hatches in a row..
@likinmo yes it has been tough took my cousin out today and not even a gobble.. not even on the roost i was bummmed but ik they are there so im gonna keep at it. but im savin my really good spot for may 1st, any luck so far?
Thanks, got my call and turkey loads. Know where there's turkeys and am going to my first turkey hunt tomorrow. I'm so stoked! Thanks for some input. I'll try the mouth piece later. Hands free is nice.
i prefer a slate call i got one and it sounds really good ive never used a box call and prolly will stick to my slate cause ive had really good luck with it
Youth season is April 11 - 12th, so take a kid... Birds seem to be alot more fired up in there season too. We always see some crazy stuff on the youth weekend.
you cant break it really lol....try holding it at i different angle or pressing harder of lighter or something and hold the striker twords the bottom more
How are you holding the striker? do not hold it straight up and down. Try rotating it at different angles until u produce the sound you are looking for. Try lookin on google or something for different instructions that can help you.
Great tips man!!! was that 1st slate style glass call you had, was it a Primos Jackpot glass? I had one of them, worked great but it got wet one day and I guess the wood swelled and it cracked. I now have me athe new H.S. Strut RingZone, starfir crystal, works great also. Once again, great vid, and it deserves 5 stars!
i gotta tell you man your slate call K&H Ol' Yellar is prolly the best call ever made. i've killed numorous birds with my one slate call that i started with.
i live in ontario canada in the country i got a tent on my grandfathers hey field nothing yet so far but almost got a 27 pound tom he had a massive beard
Thank you my friend! ESVA here, turkey beginner, went my first time last weekend, we contacted a gobbler, got him closer, never had the visual, using lil deuce double glass call. with your advice im gonna pick up a box call, thanks!
Thanks for the help. I'll be going out for my first time may 7th. im getting pretty good at calling but this will be a learning experience for me but hopefully i bag a big bird!
wow this really helps I'm going on Saturday by my self and I'm kinda worried about calling because of i use i box call and I'm afraid of calling a turkey in and pulling my gun up and scaring the turkey away. But thanks for the tips there gonna help alot
One of the only 9:00 videos I've watched every second of. As a deer hunter trying my hand at turkey for the first time, this was very informative and concise. Awesome vid man.
You cant teach through a video mouth calling you can only try to immulate what you here. Press firmly with your tongue and let off as you blow....I try to make the sound KEOWK...Its hard to teach technique...Just leave a call in your mouth and practice.
the way i learned how to cluck was to try and say PUCK witha very quick burts of air. do not try to put a lot of tongue pressure on the reed(s). good luck.
so which way do you put the reed in your mouth, i do diffrent and dont know if its right i put the reed torwards my trought and suck, i know i have almost sollowed the call before, but i have also called some in, i have scared more than i have called
The open end of the reed goes to the front of your mouth....you deff. don't need to be sucking on the call. You should be forcing air under the call. Normally this can be done by trying to say words such as put, cluck, chirp, chip, chick, etc.
Yes dont suck on the call or you might swallow it. The latex goes towards your front teeth! Then you press firmly with your tongue and blow and as you blow let off so slightly. KEOWK is the sound you want!
I like Primos and Knight&Hale brands. Both have good waterproof tape and "playable" latex. It flexes well, and doesn't take a lot of pressure from the tongue to change tones.
Get good at a two reed call before you try crazy cuts or 3/4 reed calls.
Practice until you can make CLEAR calls QUIETLY, then go hunting with it. Otherwise, you might find it to be too loud, scaring off birds of all kinds.
hey great advise i have a couple box calls and aluminum calls but i have been trying to learn how to mouth call for awhile you have any extra tips to help me out?
just want to let you know last fall I took your advise to buy a box call if I was a beginner, so I stopped at the local hunting shop bought a license and a box call and had a turkey by noon, should have tried turkey hunting yrs ago what a blast!!! Thanks!
I've been playing with my calls so much this past month my wife is about to knife me... haha I use a slate and mouth diaphram but this is a good video, thanks for putting it up.
PRetty good video, thanks for putting something out there that's actually helpful for new hunters. I've been hunting for years & this is one of the better instructional videos I've seen. You have your mouth calls down pretty good.
Great video...definately go with the double, i bought the triple to start and it was difficult. Just ask my wife about all the practicing i had to do...:) She was ready to kill me. Really good instructional video man !!!!
paulh25....the key thing to calling turkey is not to over call him....if he is gobbling everytime you call and 3 or 4 times in between your calling hes hott!!!he will come dont over call make him find you.....if hes hott he will look for ya just give him a little call every 2-4 mins and he will come!!!
If the bird is gobbling his head off do you call a lot to get him to come your way - call sparingly to let him know you're there and not scare him or what? I had one gobbling in the woods (est 75 yards although I couldnt see him) he just kept walking on past - gobbling all the way -grrr! I called some just to act hard to get but now I think it wasnt enough. Thanks for the video.
Put in your mouth for awhile untill you get used tom the feel of it. Till you dont gag anymore. Start by pressing with your tongue on the call . Press it to the roof of your mouth then blow air over it. You want to make a keowk sound. Start out with a higher pitch and bring the pitch lower by depressing your tongue ever so slightly. Hope this helps alittle. Go kill ya one!
hey thankx for the tip but one more question. like what part of the piece do i put my toungue on and would you prefer a single reed instead of a double if you were new to this sutff
Good video. this will be my 3rd year bird hunting...still birdless but this year is the year I hope...cant get the cuttin down good with box or slate yet thats what i need to work on for this year...
Thanks for the tips, I am getting ready to take my son for the youth hunt saturday here in missouri, and I have never been before so this was very helpful.
dude thanks so much ive killed 2 turkeys with my dad calling for me but im finally old enough to go out by myself so i plan on calling my own in for the first time this helped alot :)
Thank you sir. Your video was very educational. It's hard to learn this stuff from anyone out here in southern tree hugging california. Good to see I was doing somethings right and learned a few things also.
Dude - thanks! You should be on Versus or Outdoor Channel. Those guys suck compared to you! It is hard to find good examples of solid calls with all types of calls without paying alot of money for stuff that is not proven!
Thanks for the comments guys! I was an episode of AWAY outdoors at XMAS but I was running the camera not in front. I really like doing these videos though. Good huntin!
new turkey hunter hear in Louisiana appreciates you. I have killed 4 total, but all in Texas w/ rifle. That was kinda fun, but I'm hooked on getting one w/ shotgun during spring in LA. Thanks for the help, it doesn't go un-noticed!
Great instructional video! I have been hunting for several years and i still pick up tips from others like yourself. Im a missourian myself i and know exactly what you mean about all the rain. Using a mouth call i have a problem keeping it soft. Any tips on how to? I know using less air but i still seem to be to loud.
One thing is keep your lips closed as much as possible and you could keep your hands over your mouth.Plus if you need to be that soft you prolly shouldnt be calling anyway...maybe a putt or purr thats it!! Good huntin!
Hey thanks I appreciate the nice comments. It really means alot to me. Im going to be coming out with my locator video in a few days be looking for it!

One thing I would say is keep a call in your mouth for hours at a time and practice practice practice!

PRetty good video, thanks for putting something out there that's actually helpful for new hunters. I've been hunting for years & this is one of the better instructional videos I've seen. You have your mouth calls down pretty good.

paulh25....the key thing to calling turkey is not to over call him....if he is gobbling everytime you call and 3 or 4 times in between your calling hes hott!!!he will come dont over call make him find you.....if hes hott he will look for ya just give him a little call every 2-4 mins and he will come!!!

If the bird is gobbling his head off do you call a lot to get him to come your way - call sparingly to let him know you're there and not scare him or what? I had one gobbling in the woods (est 75 yards although I couldnt see him) he just kept walking on past - gobbling all the way -grrr! I called some just to act hard to get but now I think it wasnt enough. Thanks for the video.

hey i have a question with the mouth call.
i just bought mine and i cant fingure out how to use it
IMSLY12345 3 years ago
Put in your mouth for awhile untill you get used tom the feel of it. Till you dont gag anymore. Start by pressing with your tongue on the call . Press it to the roof of your mouth then blow air over it. You want to make a keowk sound. Start out with a higher pitch and bring the pitch lower by depressing your tongue ever so slightly. Hope this helps alittle. Go kill ya one!
likinmo 3 years ago
hey thankx for the tip but one more question. like what part of the piece do i put my toungue on and would you prefer a single reed instead of a double if you were new to this sutff
IMSLY12345 3 years ago
press your tongue up against the rubber reed and i would use a double reed. Good luck

Dude - thanks! You should be on Versus or Outdoor Channel. Those guys suck compared to you! It is hard to find good examples of solid calls with all types of calls without paying alot of money for stuff that is not proven!

Great instructional video! I have been hunting for several years and i still pick up tips from others like yourself. Im a missourian myself i and know exactly what you mean about all the rain. Using a mouth call i have a problem keeping it soft. Any tips on how to? I know using less air but i still seem to be to loud.
Limpstein 3 years ago
One thing is keep your lips closed as much as possible and you could keep your hands over your mouth.Plus if you need to be that soft you prolly shouldnt be calling anyway...maybe a putt or purr thats it!! Good huntin!
