Raspy Hens

[Loyalist84]

A couple of the farms I hunt have hens that have so much rasp they don't even have an audible top note to their yelp from a distance - it's all low or medium pitched nasal yawking.

 I like a call that sounds like the middle aged cigarette smoking barmaid at any local hole in the wall bar.

I also like a call that sounds like a hen from the Atlanta to Chattanooga area. So nice to hear them call!

Why sound the same as everything the boys have already heard?

 Oh my, I forgot the Maine hens! So nice to hear.

You should have heard the sister that I dealt with for seven days this season, while I was chasing her boyfriend.

I like them hens sound like the electrolarynx guy on My Name Is Earl.

Dont think it really matters if its raspy in a area where there aren't any raspy hens. Some gobblers will respond and work to hens sounding completely different. Some will hit a sucky sounding mouth call over a beautiful rendition on a pot or box call. I haven't used a mouth call in over 15 years. This season had a gobbler that wouldn't answer anything but the mouth call. And I definitely know it sounded terrible but he worked to it. They're out there just being turkeys....

Any hen can have rasp, Raspy yelps occur when the hen yelps hard enough or long enough and the voice or sound breaks. It has nothing to do with age
