Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted April 13, 2009 Anybody got any quick hints on locating turkey? I have heard howling, crow caw and stuff like that after the sun goes down will get them to gobble in the roost. Any truth to that notion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rio Report post Posted April 13, 2009 If they've started to gobble heavy, they'll respond to just about any sound, even a car door closing. You can use owl and crow calls, they're a little more natural sound, evenings are a good time, if you can locate and roost them, you'll have your starting point for the next morning.

Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted April 14, 2009 As mentioned the truck door can work well..... ... Also, I was out yesterday and drove up on a group of birds in my Ranger with the tunes blaring and those toms we gobbling thier danged old heads off! On a more serious note I have heard that a owl hooter works good.... You can't hardly tell but these two toms were a struttin' and a gobllin'! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kilimanjaro Report post Posted April 14, 2009 Best locater call Ive ever used was a peacock screamer.. It worked EVERYTIME!! Mine fell out of my pocket a few years back, and I havent bought another one since.. They work awesome. They'll gobble at it no matter what time of day!!

The peacock screamer is one of the best locator calls in my experience. Last year a buddy was using one and would get birds to gobble that I could not day or night. I made sure I would have one in my vest this year!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SunDevil Report post Posted April 14, 2009 peacock, coyote, owl, gobble, crow, hen - all will work in the evening once they get up on the roost. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...showtopic=12679 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ac guy Report post Posted April 14, 2009 I've always used an owl, but you guys got me thinkin about stopping by and picking up a peacock. I watched a show once where they were hunting near the Mississippi, and used an air horn for a locater. Damnedest thing I ever saw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted April 14, 2009 I have an air horn sitting right here on my desk......can't say I have every paid attention to a peacock screamer...I had my calls out in the livingroom last night had my wife and my dog both about ready to chase me out of the house....guess I better step outside to practice tonight. Thanks guys, what about 1:00 in the morning.....does the same hold true as far as them gobbling up on the roost?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZbowhntr Report post Posted April 14, 2009 Redneck, I hear you. The last turkey tag I had my wife and daughters were ready to kick me out of the house. I used to drive about 30 minutes to and from work and started practicing while I drove. Apparently it worked because I got a turkey the very first time a went out. I have always used a crow call with pretty good success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
