Turkey gobbler call critique and feedback?

[Bonejour]

So, Matagi was giving me pointers on turkey calling, and we thought it might be useful to post a thread to allow feedback for novices. Here's my first post. Let me know what you think, and please feel free to post a demo to help me and others improve our technique.

Much better Don! Just keep practicing and get a good control of the air flow and you'll be set. Although just what you are doing will get turkeys to gobble. Next step is to go scout for turkeys and see what they think, they will be a better judge than any human

Don't call at birds you want to hunt. Chances are if you know about them so do others and I bet anything they're going to be calling to scout as well. IMHO the key is to wait and let everybody educate them and then you call when it's go time and will hopefully call one in out of curiosity. I've called pre season and had birds come running but during season they had already heard my whole aray and would not respond. Have a buddy give them a new sound and bingo thunder chicken coming. I'm no pro buy any means but it's what I know.

Thanks guys. Great comments and suggestions. It's a big help to be able to post a sample of audio after some initial coaching. Wackum, Matagi had already cautioned me in the same way. I'll be hunting private land in VA in May, but out here on public land I will probably not gobble. I'm working on yelps and cuts with a diaphragm call, and will post another thread when I reach a decent skill level. Again, greatly appreciate all the help from you gentlemen.

Guess you don't worry about leaving your call at home.

Awesome gobble! No need to spend money for a call.

I tried Steve's technique this am driving to work. Spat saliva all over the place. Too funny.

 

[steveo007]
