Title: Turkeys attracted to frogs croaking?
Post by: Hangfire on January 30, 2010, 06:16:59 AM: 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.

Post by: turkeydancer on January 30, 2010, 06:36:40 AM: 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? :chuckle:

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. :chuckle:

Post by: yelp on January 30, 2010, 06:46:24 PM: 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.

In all seriousness?...you have got to be kidding.....gut starting to hurt from laughing....nothing personal, just funny is all. Ribet, Ribet......gobble, gobble :chuckle:
Title: Re: Turkeys attrackted to frogs croaking?
Post by: Wacenturion on February 05, 2010, 09:09:35 AM: Now that I've stopped laughing...to answer your question.........No, I don't think that's what he meant.
Title: Re: Turkeys attrackted to frogs croaking?
Post by: Buckmark on February 05, 2010, 10:55:48 AM: So turkeys dont shock gobbler to non turkey noise's? Like a coyote howl, crow call or even a pig squealer?
Title: Re: Turkeys attrackted to frogs croaking?
Post by: halflife65 on February 05, 2010, 11:08:11 AM: Of course they shock gobble to other sounds - however, the guy said that they are "attracted" which, to me, implied that if you started croaking like a frog they would not only gobble, but show up...If I slam the door on my truck I might expect one to gobble but I wouldn't expect it to come running to me. Otherwise, I'd just drive down the road, step out and load the shotgun and then start slamming the door of my truck and pretty soon I'd be on my way home with my turkey.

Or, you can get out and start croaking like a frog. Same effect, I think. I wish I would've thought of both of those things a lot sooner. It would have saved me countless hours and countless $$ walking around in the woods with my expensive calls. :chuckle:

What Halflife65 said.................

I might add that's why they call it a shock gobble......it's generally a noise that breaks the silence and is LOUD enough to shock a gobbler into gobbling. I really doubt frogs have that ability to make noises that qualify.
Title: Re: Turkeys attrackted to frogs croaking?
Post by: Buckmark on February 05, 2010, 12:09:39 PM: I agree, like i said, "could he have ment" it is funny though if he really ment they would come running to the dinner bell croak..
I also stated shock gobble and not come a runnin...
Although turkeys do some strange stuff..

If you throw in a yelp or a cutt in between croaking helps. :chuckle:
Title: Re: Turkeys attrackted to frogs croaking?
Post by: Hangfire on February 06, 2010, 08:37:41 AM: This all sounds funny about croaking. The fellow I talked to, gave me the impression if he had a group of turkeys in front of him, and they wouldn't come closer. He would imitate a tree frog. He claimed they love to eat them and some of the birds would come looking for the frog. Where the hens go the gobbler often follows. I didn't get to ask him if it was a spring or fall hunt,as I had to leave.

Kind of like going to a mouse squeak, after calling a coyote in with a predator call.

Title: Re: Turkeys attrackted to frogs croaking?
Post by: Hangfire on February 09, 2010, 07:43:27 PM: I took my wife to the doctor today and was talking with a LPN that is a avid archer. I ask him if he was getting ready for turkey season and he brightened up. I ask what kind of call he used, he replied you aren't going to believe this, but my best call is a frog croak. He said they are crazy for frogs. He got a toy out of a store that as he described it, was a can like devise that you flipped over and it made a frog croak. He said one of his kids will start using it and the turkeys are so focused on it he is off to the side and can draw his bow with out being seen.

This is the second person who has told me about frog croaks attracting turkeys. Both also said the tree frog croak.
Title: Re: Turkeys attrackted to frogs croaking?
Post by: yelp on February 11, 2010, 07:44:04 AM: You need to find an amphibian free zone over there and clear your head..LOL..or you will have me even convinced to actually do a croak. A funny story..went out with a guide and we were locating toms..he says "Lets listen here"...he breaks out his coyote call..Hoooowll..Gobble Gobble Gobble..Right on..He says..They love this thing. I go watch this..Hoo Hoo Hoo..Gobble Gobble Gobble , I go watch this ..MOO MOO MOO..Gobble Gobble Gobble..I also did the famous door slam or dog bark..gobble gobble..He just looked at me shaking his head. It was funny. But to sit by a tree and croak in hopes to lure in a hungry turkey?..not sure the sad part is I will try anything..LOL..well not anything..but most within reason..LOL
Title: Re: Turkeys attrackted to frogs croaking?
Post by: Hangfire on February 11, 2010, 08:02:59 AM: I put this out, after being told about it, and thought it seemed ridicule's. I thought all the comments were funny, but it got me to thinking that possibly some truth to it. After the second person, I am thinking of keeping my eye open for some thing that will make a real frog sound, to try when I get a flock of birds, or a henned up gobbler will not come in. I am not going to put much emphasis on it, but will be observant to see if it could be one more little tool. I still like my homemade calls.
Title: Re: Turkeys attrackted to frogs croaking?
Post by: Buckmark on February 11, 2010, 08:08:41 AM: I am going to try it on my small resident flock that passes through my meadow from time to time just to see there reaction, i have lots of hoppers in the summer but i also have a small pond (1ac) that gets overgrown and is full of frogs, the turkeys do stay on that side of the property so it will be fun to see what happens.

Post by: yelp on February 11, 2010, 05:10:14 PM: I am seeking new memberships to the "Washington State Croakers Association"..our motto is "I hope we croak before you do!" It is made up of turkey hunters that prefer croaking in that gobbler.

We also are starting a youth program called "Tadpolers" and "Toad in the woods" program for the lady croakers out there. All of our local chapters have Super Jump banquets where we raise money for Amphibian habitat here in Washington. Our conservation program wants to increase frogs across the state to benefit wild turkeys.

Daily Memberships are $5 99.9% of the funds go to administration the rest go to entertainment..Also look for Croaker Call TV..coming soon.

I am a marketing genius!
