Gobbling at Gobblers

[Gobble@me]

Do any of you try gobbling at a Gobbler that just refuses to come to hen yelping, cutting, etc.  I have 2 gobblers that are inseparable, gobble their heads off on the roost and 30-45 min. after flydown but refuse to come to mouth diaphragms, slates, and box calls.  Thought about trying to gobble at them every time they gobble and try to go towards them to make them think I'm here to fight.  If anyone has tried this or have any suggestions, please let me know the best method to imitate a gobble.  THANKS!!

Absolutely. We called in a two year Saturday that my brother shot by jake gobbling at him.

It works...

Sorry didn't see that last part. He was gobbling like crazy on the limb across the road. I called like an excited hen for a few series. Did a few jake gobbles over top of his. Then shut up. By 6:30 he took a dirt nap.

Take a look at "Multiflora Rose Gobbler" on the 2nd page of this section where I explain how I took a tom using only my Primos gobble tube. All three of my Illinois gobblers this spring were taken primarily by challenging the peck order of the gobblers. I've used gobbling for years to bring in gobblers that are looking for the intruder tom. I use a male decoy placed in an upright position over the rear of a hen on the ground, giving the impression that breeding is about to take place. Early in the season, subordinate gobblers without hens are more likely to come in while in the late season, dominate ones without hens are attracted to the peck order challenge. Shots are generally within a couple of feet of the decoys. Next spring I'm going to incorporate fighting purrs to see how this works and will revert to gobbling if this is not successful.

I've been known to gobble on occasion. Some say only use it as a last resort but I've used it at times just to get tight lipped gobblers to open up. Sometimes it shuts things down but sometimes it opens the flood gates. It's a gamble so keep that in mind.

Often in the early season

I will as a last resort. I love the Red Wolfe gobble call.  I gobble and then move on fast if nothing answers.

as stated above, it's a gamble, but it will work depending on the mood of the bird

Much like quavers, I will try gobbling as a last resort. Also, don't hesitate to throw some Jake yelps at em at the back end of their gobbles. You'll know pretty quickly if either tactic will work or not. It's a nothing ventured, nothing gained sort of deal.

I use it when nothing else is working.

It's worth a try.  I spit and drum, first.

Second bird i killed i was gobbling back at him, sounding like a jake trying to gobble. He came in on a string.
