Calling On The Limb

[howl]

Calling to them on the  limb is more a function of the hunter just can't stand it than sound tactics.

I have pics of more than one gobbler that would beg to differ including one of 3 that came in this morning straight off the roost.

I'm more than willing to let gobblers know I'm in the neighbor especially when distance, obstacles, and rough terrain that allow them to soar off ridge tops to the valleys below are involved.

There are other instances I'll call them to on the limb as well.

Blanket statements don't work for me with turkeys because they've proven them wrong to me plenty of times.

I call a little bit before I fly down, but I try to assess the situation.

I've pulled them off the limb plenty of times before I learned it reduced odds overall. Just cos it'll work sometimes doesn't mean it's ever the best idea. In other words, you're wrong. No need to thank me for figuring it out for you, because you couldn't and setting you straight because you'd never have on your own.

30 plus years under my belt says "whatever"! You do you!

I never did call to them much on the limb until I started hunting steeper country. Get close to a tom gobbling on the roost, don't call at all, and he pitches to the next ridge that is a half day's hike.

That'll change your opinion a little bit, lol

Totally dictated by circumstances.

Exactly! Your not only good looking but have a fair bit of intelligence as well!!!

Real hens call on the limb. Both while they are still on the limb, and while the gobbler is still on the limb.

I agree with Gobble Nut that a gobbler starts his day well before a hen does. He is probably going to be drumming on the limb before he gobbles too. IME gobblers start their day 20 to 30 minutes before the hens do. They are anxious to start the day (of course) and they can see the daylight coming.
