I'm a first time Turkey Hunter this spring, so I'm wondering how many Turkey Locator call options I need. For now, all I have is a owl locator. Is there anything else I should get?
Do you use different locator calls the night before VS the morning of?
Is a gobble call like the Primos Double Gobbler something I should consider?
I would add a good crow call. I use boat paddle boxes for long distance locators also. Good luck and have fun.
I second the crow call. Very easy to use. Once you get the crows going, let them take over. I rarely use special locator calls. Lands I hunt are not that large. Loud yelps on a box call works well for me. Often the gobblers will come looking and the hunt is on. When they come looking I switch to a mouth call or pot call.
Good luck this spring!
Add the crow call, I carry two different owl calls, a reed type, and a barrel type. I don't gobble unless it is late spring during may when our gobblers have grouped back up. Might work great in some places, but I have'nt had much luck with a gobble tube for locating anything except other turkey hunters.
I really like a hawk screamer. The one I have is made by Quaker Boy. Don't be afraid to use an owl hooter up in the day. I have had them shock gobble to an owl caller at various times of the day.
Besides the owl and crow call I like using a coyote howler, I get alot of turkeys to gobbler when the go to roost with it where I live. Don't know if I would use a gobble call. You might have another hunter stalk you.
I would for sure go with a crow call. A loud box call and a coyote howler would also be tools I would recommend.
OK, I'm all stocked up now!
1. Owl
2. Crow
3. Peacock
4. Pilleated Woodpecker
5. Coyote Howl-already had this one
6. Primos double Gobbler
If I can't do it with those, then I can't do it!
Thanks all...
