Yelping is all that's needed 95% of the time.

Once they hear you put the call away and just wait, and don't move.
They have an amazing ability to locate exactly where that sound came from.

Most turkie callers over call something fierce. Also tone back your volume.   :twocents:

what call do you guys use to bring them in closer?i cant afford a decoy till next week.
i believe it was the cut that brought em in but i am new to all this and was using everything i know.

The fact that you know it was 158 yards should tell you why.  He came close enough to see her and she wasn't there.. End of story!

I would say because he was moving around too much.

was your hands visable?  Were they gloved?  ungloved hands working a box call are like flags.

Get in some thicker stuff as mentioned, and be sure to use a facemask and gloves as the next post said.

If you are not frustrated, you're not turkey hunting.  Saw your post this morning and hoped there'd be a pic attached.

Target shoot with your glove, you may have to adjust the tightness so your draw length stays the same with the glove.  Otherwise, just roll the cuff forward and put it on as usual.

Gloves shouldn't affect your ability to shoot.  If it does, you have some issues with mechanics/grip. :twocents:
