synper100 Report post Posted March 1, 2009 I'm new at this turkey thing, can I expect to hear the toms gobbling in late April when the season starts? Does it depend on the weather? Any info will help. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomgobbler Report post Posted March 2, 2009 yes they will be gobbling in late april and probably a month before that, but for sure by then. park anywere in the mountains just before sunrise and get out and listen for a few minutes and you will hear a turkey gobble. and if by chance you done, move a half mile and listen again, they are very vocal just before sunrise and just before fly down time.... the only time you would'nt hear them gobble is if the wind is 50 miles and hour (and that happens offten during turkey season) and then it is not becasue they arent gobbling its becasue you just cant hear over the wind.

AZbowhntr Report post Posted March 3, 2009 And if you don't hear any gobbling try hitting a crow call. That seems to work really well too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SunDevil Report post Posted March 3, 2009 they will also gobble in the evening. each bird is different. I have been in one spot and at the exact same time had different birds gobble to 3 different calls but not all 3 of them to the same. one bird gobble to peacock call, different bird gobble to gobble call, third bird gobble to hen call but other two did not gobble to hen, peacock or gobble calls.

billrquimby Report post Posted March 4, 2009 No need to buy a call. I blow into my hands to imitate the "who COOKS for you" call of an owl to locate roosting trees before first light. Incidentally, the entire turkey population leaves unit 1 (where my cabin is) before May 1 (when my hunt starts). Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Browning'sCustomMeat Report post Posted March 4, 2009 Owl calls work the best I think, but I have never bought one. A big ol "A-hoot" from the diaphragm, kind of like a hollow sound. Probably makes no sense, me explaining, but if you figure it out, it works great! -Jeremy- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huntn coues Report post Posted March 9, 2009 Pretty much any call you own will make em gobble when locating. Even your car door or horn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
