[QUOTE="longactionHNTR, post: 1551270, member: 103890"] The best practice I have found is to get out and hunt. Locate a hot bird (by calling of course) then get as close as you can before calling again. If he is with hens it’s going to be hard to call him off. But try to emulate the hens. That’s how you will become a better caller. In my experience they are always closer then they sound! So if you hear a bird and you think he’s 400 yards away he’s probably more like 200 yards away. You are going to screw up on some birds but that’s the fun part. Learn from your mistakes and get close. Also another thing I like to do is put birds to bed. Call at dusk and locate them right before dark that way in the AM you have ateast an idea where their roost tree might be. If your lucky you might see them get into their tree. Be underneath them well before day light. When turkeys pitch out of the tree, they typically do so up hill, for an easier landing. So set up there to begin with. As stated you don’t have to be a champion caller to kill birds. Learn how to cluck and purr and you will call in some birds. Good luck [/QUOTE]
