Yeah Brebs, gotta learn when to call, when to shut up, when to use what call, when to use each call before or after the other.
Get what I'm saying? Then if you get a tom that only wants to hangup it's handy to have two diaphragm calls in your mouth. Have a higher pitch and lower pitch to sound like two different hens and just keep one in your cheek while using the other and rotate.
It's a lot more than you think it is. Best thing would to have someone who has called turkeys call for you. Also nice to have two sets of eyes.

One ofmthe biggest mistake that a lot of hunters make is calling WAY to much! You just need to keep there attention dont over call.
One of the techniques I use is to have your caller set up about 15 yards behind the shooter. The birds will keep coming in thinking the hen is farther away allowing the shooter an easier closer shot.

Exactly, over calling is probably the number one mistake made i nthe woods. That or people moving to set up in a different spot too soon. The night before your hunt starts, put the birds to bed so you know where to set up in the morning, but don't get toclose to bust them from the roost. If you do sit right there and start calling, they will all come back to regroup. Thats a great tactic late in the season when they have been called at for a month. Let me know if you want me to come call for ya, great to have a person sit up behind you and call, especially with a bow. keeps the birds focus on the call and not you. |

I may be able to call too on a day off.I have a popup for ya, but its kinda "used" if you know what I mean. Once you never get an arrow off on a huge tom you'll go to the gun. I've seen it many times.

Only a few, no pro by any means. I had a great teacher when it comes to calling. He has the Grandslam x2. I honestly enjoy calling them for other people more than shooting my own. my first bird was a bearded hen lol
