Quote from: THattaway on April 27, 2016, 04:51:38 PMBill,How you can believe that a turkey will go quiet when molested but you can't believe that they can be imprinted to connect sounds (calls) to the molester. You do realize turkeys can recognize other individual turkey's calls don't you? Have you ever witnessed two broods and hens separate? Then if that's the case don't you think a turkey can be imprinted with calling from those "dozen nimrods blowing through birds" you mentioned earlier who might hammer the same spot repeatedly throughout the season? Don't just take things I've said here out of context. Still seeing "If they were afraid of turkey sounds, they would never mate" while that has never been claimed. Cracks me up. Why do folks assume anyone who mentions "Call shy" never killed a turkey, can't call, can't hunt, has no woodsmanship skills, can't understand turkey habits, etc. etc. I raised far stupider domestic turkeys as a kid and witnessed first hand negative behavior related to calling. There are and will always be a few animals who've experienced enough hunting pressure to live to see a ripe old natural death. I've ranted enough on that subject so I will stop but I will say one thing further. Don't anyone tell me it's a fact a turkey cannot become call shy unless you are a turkey yourself. Greg,You feel free to come on to SC and try the easterns here with calling harder as the season progresses for a few years on turkeys that are hunted and report back to me how your success rates stack up.

How can you drink beer with the guys until midnight if you go to bed at 9pm? Which brings me to another weakness of mine: Dozing off in the blind.

QuoteDuck hunters are famous for throwing out "call shy." It's a misnomer. When they are "call shy," they are also blind shy, decoy shy, levee shy, hole shy and a host of others. Adjust, get where they feel comfortable going and they'll work a call. They're really everything shy because they are responding to pressure. Adjust, and they still act like ducks. It's the same with turkeys.
