Free: Contests & Raffles.
Never heard of it. I have been a pro staffer for knight-hale game calls and H.S. strut and never heard the old timers talk about it.
Strange! I've taken several toms across the country at the last few weeks of turkey season using deeks. Perhaps I'm lucky, or I'm doing something different. Strange, the day I killed my tom...one week before the end of the season, 2 hens were yelping offf behind my set up, 2 toms gobbled off to my left and the one I shot gobbled 6 times on the way to the deeks. I think most people realize that hunting shows are for intertainment, not for tips or rules on hunting. Contest calling is for contests.suttle calling is best, but from time to time you can and should crank em up.Sometimes after the jakes have been whacked, the older birds are left and they tend to be a little more deek shy, but they too have a weakness.....all my hens are gone..and I'm still horny baby...that's when a little inticement works.Oh, and sometimes gobblers gobble by themselves and they are NOT coming...but its just best to stay put and find out.
BH45....Now I remember you a little more, you were mixing those in on your tree yelp, because I remember talking to you about it. That's when I started researching those sounds more. Also that year I had a Tom do it right in front of me. We had gotten inbetween a Tom and a hen, we could,t move to scare her off, but the Tom hung just out of sight but inrange. He whistled, the " Do it" or doo whup I called it then. The hen ran to him as ifon a string. Plus that contest got me to tone it down a bit. Kind of the " If I knew then what I know now" senario. It helped both in the woods and contests.
I get the do wit, wit wit deal..Hear it..done it. The decoy thing is dead in the dirt on all argument sides.. Please dont PM me with I told you so's because I could give a rip. I dont know why anyone has to prove themselves on here...expecially sence no one called you a lier or anything. I also dont think its at all appropriate to go on and on about something like this.....its just other peoples opionion..agree to disagree for once...thats all
