I prefer to sit and wait on a gobble. If not an Owl hoot will work.

On these Osceolas down here in Central Florida, I use a barred Owl or crow. In Georgia, I have yet to need a locator call. They're usually "hammering"on their own.

Well, you know that you won't be able to hear a cardinal before the whipperwills are through for the day.

Barred owl, with mouth or call. Try to get the real owls talking. I use a crow call to try to get another reading sometimes when trying to pin point one if he clams up.

Crow or Owl....

I like to do the Owl with my natural voice and I also have luck with a crow call. I would rather the turkeys sound off their self though. I always wait until the first crow hollars before I try to locate.

I have slammed my truck door and had them gobble. I wonder if you cracked a big stick against a tree if it would get one to sound off?

worth a try. better wear your safety glasses and watch for shrapnel. Might need a hard hat to keep the falling 'coons and opposums out of your hair. I've hunted down at West Pt. Wma and have had birds sound off when someone was shooting at the range.

Slammed the truck door one morning and they went NUTS!!!

I just walk around a few fields and listen for them. I don't have any of those calls.

Let Them Do Their Own Thing.if One Gobbles I Ease Along And Usually Another Will Start Hammering.don't Move To Quick You Might Bust One Off A Limb.if I Don't Here Anything I Might Flydown Cackle Or Cutt Like A Fool If Ones Around They Can't Help But Fire Off.
