Turkeys attracted to frogs croaking?

[Hangfire]

I had a person I met in a sporting goods store tell me that croaking frogs attract turkeys, anybody ever hear of such?  He said he could imitate a frog croaking and it works.

Turkeys will eat small amphibians so it wouldn't surprise me that much that they would be attracted to the sound ... first time I've heard of someone "croaking" a turkey in though ... seems this would be a last resort.  Think he might of been "croaking" you in a bit?

I suggest the guy you were talking too might wear a tin foil hat at home, or he is getting ready to market frog croakers for an upcoming seminar..............hey, Dancer....you wouldn't be in cahoot's with him would ya.

There are times I have been sitting in a blind willing to try anything.  I have wondered about cricket noises since they eat the heck out of them and grasshoppers.

Funny you mention crickets.  On a southern board I 'm on, there was a guy that in his posts promoted himself as an expert turkey hunter, using crickets in front of his blind to attract turkeys, then bragged on it.  Needless to say along with all his other goofy posts he has been banned several times, but keeps returning under different names.  As soon as someone on the board figures it out that he might be back with a new name, the cricket jokes start.

The research that is currently going on for turkey diet..(study needing turkey crops)  IS looking at amphibians and the type wild turkeys may eat.  Also looking at seed types, etc..It will be very interesting.  They are even collecting turkey droppings along with crops hunters send in.

Hey, how do I get in on marketing these cricket and ears of corn calls to go with my frog call percentage?
